AUDIO: Go to the 14:35 minute mark and listen to Boston Sports Radio 98.5's Tony Massarotti lament the Travis Shaw deal. And in the brief clip, there is no formal acknowledgement of Mauricio Dubon's start, including leading the Southern League in steals (15-for-18), nor yet-to-debut Josh Pennington, nor the soon-to-be-named PTBNL.

Final: Dayton 7, Wisconsin 0 Dragons beat Rattlers 7-0 Two Dayton pitchers combine on four-hit shutout By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** Look for the Monte Harrison catch at the 1:00 minute mark! *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Blog Podcast: "Chris & Kyle Lobner discuss Friday's 7-0 loss to Dayton and have interviews with David Burkhalter, Demi Orimoloye, and Matt Erickson." *** Wisconsin Box Score As noted in the tail end of the audio podcast, nice job by RHP Andrew Vernon in his recent "limit the damage" middle relief role; RHP David Burkhalter with a fine "welcome back" three-inning stint... Att: 4,550. Impressive for first week of May, too bad it wasn't a better game... Wisconsin Game Log Rattlers drew one walk and fanned 11 times; Gilbert Lara fanned all three times up, and his stint with Wisconsin thus far is very reminiscent of 2015 Monte Harrison and Jake Gatewood, and two years later, look where those two are. By the way, on a Mudcats note, who had Gatewood in the 2017 Brewers Minor League Player of the Year Award? Wow!

Final: Montgomery 5, Biloxi 4 Late rally dooms Shuckers against Biscuits on Friday Shuckers lose despite solo homers from Reed, Charles and Betancourt From that very thorough game summary you just read -- Javier Betancourt tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning with his first home run of the year off Edwin Fierro (W, 3-0). But in the top of the seventh, Jon Perrin allowed four baserunners and departed with the lead at just 4-3 with two runners on base. Forrest Snow (L, 1-2) entered and allowed a sacrifice fly to bring in the tying run, but the fly ball could have been far more damaging if not for a running catch in the gap by Johnny Davis. And here you go -- Biloxi Box Score Did we ever learn if Dustin DeMuth related to umpire Dana? Dustin born in Indiana, Dana Ohio. Biloxi Game Log Great catch aside, Johnny Davis' horrific start at the plate -- .179/.207/.250 (.457 OPS!) is not being aided by a recent bump to the leadoff spot, 0-for-5 here...

The Mudcats just keep finding ways to get national attention -- hidden ball play, sweet military family reunion, and now -- well, how their TV crew caught this, who knows: TWEET: Ball in beer

Trent Clark is listed at 6'0", 205, but does he look even that big here? Regardless, nice poke -- ***
