MiLB.com feature article -- Ventura steps up to shut down Generals Brewers righty yields one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings By Michael Peng / MiLB.com

Popsicle headache -- Pensacola, the Southern League's first-half winner, lost Wednesday, which hurts the Shuckers, as Pensacola needs to win the second half. As Biloxi heads to Mississippi for the final five-game series, the Shuckers trail the M-Braves by 1/2 game in the overall standings. So for Biloxi to finish ahead of Mississippi, they need to win the series, that's easy math. But here's why the Shuckers better plan on winning four or even five of these games -- Pensacola (Reds) visits Birmingham (White Sox) for their final series. Birmingham is a miserable 49-86 this summer, including 25-40 in the second half. Pensacola trails Mississippi by 1.5 games (two in the loss column) in the second half. If Biloxi wins its series 3 games to 2, then Pensacola needs to win its series 4 games to 1. If Biloxi wins its series 4 games to 1, then Pensacola needs to win its series 3 games to 2. If Biloxi wins its series 5 games to 0, then Pensacola needs to win two games in their series. There's actually a similar dynamic going on in the Southern League's North Division, between Montgomery (Rays), Chattanooga (Twins), and first half champs Jackson (Mariners). Wild stuff...

Tim Dillard once again activated from the Sky Sox DL. This puts 27 on the current roster, one extra is any formal delay in Will Middlebrooks' reporting, and with a September 1st call-up or two looming, not especially concerned about being over the 25-man limit, nor should you .

Scoreboard watching -- Southern League -- root for Mississippi to lose this afternoon, Pensacola (and of course) Biloxi to win tonight Midwest League -- If Wisconsin wins out, they're in (they don't have to win out with six to go, but they do control their future over Burlington for now), but go Clinton!

Final: Missoula 11, Helena 9 PHOTOS: Gilbert Lara and Cooper Hummel at the game summary link. Unfortunately, the photogenic ones here combined for three of five Helena errors. Helena Box Score Despite the game-long sloppiness, all eight runs RHP http://Scott Serigstad surrendered (say that fast) in his three-inning start were earned; Serigstad has a 2.11 WHIP over 38.1 innings -- that's way short of ideal. Clemson 17th rounder Wes Wilson has been better than solid (.937 OPS), but we really can't judge any three-year college picks until they graduate the Pioneer League, we've been burned so, so often. 19-year-old 2B Franly Mallen's OPS by month -- .837, .690, .570.

Tuesday's Southern League Scoreboard -- Go Chattanooga, Pensacola, and (of course) Biloxi *** All the Midwest League is idle, a night off from scoreboard watching there. Timber Rattlers control their own destiny, but it's tight. (Biloxi also controls its destiny, but again, super-tight.)

Bad timing for you locals -- So now with a big home series looming this week, the two TV outlets decide they're done with the Wisconsin regular season broadcast schedule...
