2004: The Rattlers lost both games of a doubleheader at Fort Wayne. The Wizards won game one 7-1. They took game two 6-4.

GAME ONE: Chris Colton homered in the top of the second inning. But, Tom Oldham allowed a homer to Fernando Valenzuela in the second, a three-run homer to Skip Adams in the fourth, and a solo homer to Jordan Pickens in the fifth. For good measure, Mike Hrynio gave up a two-run homer to Colt Morton in the sixth.

2005: The Rattlers won 8-5 at Southwest Michigan. Brandon Green, Josh Womack, and Rob Johnson all homered for the Rattlers. Eric O’Flaherty got the final two outs for the save. Casey Abrams outpitched Andy Sonnanstine for the win.

2006: The Rattlers lost 10-2 to West Michigan at home. The Whitecaps scored six in the fifth inning. Justin Justice hit a grand slam to cap the inning.

2007: The Rattlers lost 10-1 to Dayton at home. Juan Beltran hit a homer in the bottom of the eighth. But, the Dragons had scored seven runs in the sixth inning to go up 9-0.

A 3-6 record with some big losses and being swept in a doubleheader...pretty crummy day in Rattler history.
