ABOUT LAST NIGHT: The Timber Rattlers jumped out to an 8-0 lead and went on to beat the Wizards 11-6. Casey Craig and JB Tucker both homered for Wisconsin and Mike Saunders added a three-run double. Jason Snyder won his second game of the season as the Rattlers moved to 4-3 on their current 8-game road trip.
OFF THE SCHNEID: Last night was the first time this season Wisconsin won a game in which they allowed five or more runs. The Rattlers are 1-6 in that scenario now.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE: Four Timber Rattler pitchers combined to walk ten Wizard batters last night. There were also two hit batsmen, six wild pitches, and one error by the Rattler pitchers. Snyder walked three and hit two in 5-1/3 innings. Rollie Gibson walked three batters in an inning. Ruben Flores walked a pair. Edgar Guaramato threw his first two pitches of the night to the backstop for wild pitches and walked a pair.
THE WILD BUNCH: In their last ten games, the entire Rattler pitching staff has combined for 60 walks. In their last five games, the Rattler pitchers have walked 35 opposing batters.
LONG GONE: The home runs hit by the Rattlers last night were their first of the road trip. Craig launched his third home run of the season in the second inning and it was the first Rattler home run since Alex Gary’s homer in the sixth inning of a game at Fox Cities Stadium on April 20, a homerless streak of 58 innings. Tucker blasted his third of the year in the seventh to give the Rattlers an 11-5 lead and tie Craig for the team lead on the season. Craig leads the Rattlers in RBI with 15.
PARTY’S OVER, GARTH: Ron Garth went 0-for-4 last night and had his hitting streak end at ten games.
NEW HIGH: Robby Hudson had an eighth inning single to extend his hitting streak to seven games for the longest current streak on the team.
OPPOSING STARTING PITCHER: Stevie Delabar was a 29th round pick of the Padres in the 2003 draft out of Volunteer State (TN) JC as a draft-and-follow. Last season with Eugene, Delabar was 4-6 with a 4.76ERA in 16 starts. He faced Everett three times last season and was 0-2 with a no decision and an ERA of 1.56. In his last start for the Wizards, Delabar went five innings, allowed five runs on eight hits, and took a no decision against the Swing of the Quad Cities on April 23.
