Final: Helena 8, Billings 6 Brewers Score Seven Unanswered, Win 8-6 Helena Brewers HELENA, MT - The Helena Brewers scored seven unanswered runs on Tuesday night at Kindrick Legion Field, defeating the Billings Mustangs 8-6 to kick off the final three game homestand of the season. Trailing 6-1 after four innings, the comeback started in the bottom of the fifth when Caleb Whalen led off with his first career home run, a line drive to left center. Whalen delivered again in the sixth, driving in a pair with a two out single to bring the Brewers within two at 6-4. Helena would keep the pressure on in the seventh, scoring four runs on three hits and a costly Billings error. Trever Morrison scored on a failed pickoff attempt at third to make it 6-5, and Gilbert Lara delivered the game winning hit, a two run double down the line in right. Lara scored on a Cooper Hummel base hit and the bullpen made it stand up from there. Cameron Roegner worked around a one out single in the eighth and Colton Cross earned his 10th save of the season in the ninth. Roegner improved to 2-3 with two scoreless innings of one-hit relief. Wuilder Rodriguez allowed one unearned run in his final appearance of the year, striking out four in 3.2 innings in relief of Rodrigo Benoit. The Brewers will look to make it three in a row on Wednesday night with Aaron Myers getting the start. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 (8:05 Central). Helena Box Score Helena Game Log

Congrats to 1B Ronnie Gideon and RHP Wuilder Rodriguez, named Pioneer League end-of-season All-Stars.

I'll file a report on Helena by early morning. Initial report on Monday showed that there would be a doubleheader this week to make up for Monday's rainout in Billings, but as of now, it appears it's just one game each of the next three nights. Neither team is in contention, so Monday's game was indeed cancelled. Box Score Link for Tuesday's Game Listen here just before 8:00 Central. RHP Rodrigo Benoit is the starter. Wednesday's Link Report will include Timber Rattler playoff details.

From Helena's Staff: Finale in Billings Rained Out BILLINGS, MT - Monday's scheduled game between the Billings Mustangs and Helena Brewers at Dehler Park has been postponed due to wet grounds. The game will be made up Tuesday in Helena as part of a doubleheader. Game one will start at 5:05 (6:05 Central) with the second game scheduled to begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first.

Huge thanks to Daron (Eye Black at Night) for going above and beyond with his Manatee Link Report coverage this season. From the more than occasional tuning in to the only available audio (opponent's) to all the analysis and beyond, not to mention dealing with the let's say, less than stellar, game results, Daron treated all Link Report readers. Our appreciation is yours, sir.

Fans reflect on Manatees’ final game in Brevard Videos and many photos, including this one summing up Manatee fans' sentiments -- Yes, minor league baseball. The only ones analyzing a 40-97 record as it pertains to the Brewers' organization are on this forum. For the fans in Viera / Melbourne, the 'Tees represented all that is good about minor league baseball.

Missed this earlier (8/31) Frosty Microbrews: Reflecting on the Year By Kyle Lobner / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Quotes galore...

To make room for Corey Ray to bolster the Timber Rattler playoff push, Wisconsin placed DH Juan Ortiz on the 7-day disabled list retroactive to 9/1.

Twelve years with the Manatees, since 2005. As with all the Link Report affiliate relationships, we've shared many behind the scenes emails, notes, tweet messages, etc., with Brevard front office and on-air staff. The years with game audio and archived interviews were fantastic. For those staying with the organization as it moves to Kissimmee, best wishes. Hopefully the Brewers will be there with you in 2017. Thanks!
