Kane County's Ninth Inning Rally Keeps Rattlers from Victory Cougars score five runs in the ninth inning to beat Wisconsin 6-4 By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (Photo: Wisconsin Timber Rattlers) Wisconsin Boxscore A few days ago when I mentioned that after I stopped watching the game, I fully assumed that later I would check in and see that Wisconsin had given up the lead late. I was right, just a few days early. Last I looked at this one, Wisconsin had a 4-1 lead going into the ninth. Oops. Victor Diaz and Miguel Sanchez were the guilty parties today. I believe I used the term "hot mess" to describe Diaz' mechanics earlier this year, and not too much seems to have been ironed out. Diaz began the ninth allowing two singles and double. Sanchez allowed a single right away, but then retired the next batter on a fly ball. The Cougars nearly made the second out on the next batter, but Sanchez threw the ball off target on a force attempt at second. A walk, single, and sac fly later, and five runs were on the board. All of this erased a very solid outing from starter Zack Brown. He went six innings for just the second time in his career, allowing a run on six hits and a walk, while striking out four. On the offensive side, Monte Harrison launched his 10th home run of the year. He had 12 career home runs coming into the season. Monte is quietly sporting an 829 OPS, also having walked 27 times. He's having a good year at the plate. Tucker Neuhaus and Demi Orimoloye each had two hits, and one of Demi's was a double.
