ABOUT SUNDAY: Johan Limonta hit a solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Timber Rattlers an 11-10 victory over the Snappers. The Rattlers rallied from 5-1 and 10-7 deficits for the win.
COMEBACK ABILITY: The Rattlers trailed 1-0, 5-1, and 10-7 in the game before coming back to win. The rally from the 5-1 deficit after the top of the third inning matched the biggest deficit the Rattlers have overcome this season.
BIG INNING: Wisconsin took a 7-5 lead with a six run bottom of the fourth. The Rattlers collected seven hits in the inning. Ron Garth’s two-out, two-run single broke a 5-5 tie.
GETTING MOORE: Rattler DH Adam Moore hit a homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to start Wisconsin’s third comeback of the game. The homer was Moore’s second in as many games and extended his hitting streak to seven games. He is 12-for-28 during his current streak.
MIDWEST LEAGUE FIRST: Kuo Hui Lo, who had three hits yesterday, hit his first Midwest League home run in the game. His second inning blast tied the game 1-1.
HOME RUN HAVEN: Before this series started, there had been 54 home runs hit in 57 games at Fox Cities Stadium. In the first two games between Wisconsin and Beloit in this series, there have been twelve home runs – six by each team.
SOMETHING ABOUT SUNDAY: Three of the last four regular season walk-off home runs at Fox Cities Stadium have been hit on a Sunday: TJ Bohn on April 27, 2003; Ron Garth on May 21, 2005; and Limonta yesterday. The other regular season game winning home run also happened during a day game: Matt Tuiasosopo on April 13, 2005.
SAME SCORE; DIFFERENT RESULT: The Snappers beat the Rattlers 11-10 earlier this season on an Erik Lis game winning home run at Pohlman Field on April 11.
SHORT STARTS: Nick Allen, the Rattler starting pitcher yesterday, lasted 4-2/3 innings. In the last ten games, Wisconsin starting pitchers have made it through five innings only four times.
DOUBLE DIGIT WIN: Sunday was the thirteenth time the Rattlers have allowed ten or more runs in a game. Wisconsin is now 1-12 in games in which they have allowed ten or more runs.
OPPOSING STARTING PITCHER: Eddie Morlan was drafted in the third round by the Twins in the 2003 draft out of Coral Park High School in Miami, Florida. Morlan was 4-4 in 10 starts with a 4.39ERA for the Snappers after going 2-0 with a 0.84ERA for Elizabethton in 2005. This season he has made 23 appearances (10 starts) for the Snappers. His last start was on August 2 and it was a loss to the Dayton Dragons. He allowed five runs on seven hits over 3-2/3 innings with two walks and five strikeouts. Morlan has made two relief appearances against Wisconsin this season. He has pitched five innings; has given up one run on three hits with eleven strikeouts; and has earned a save.
