Ex-Rattler playoff action (10/11)

@Dodgers 7, Phillies 2:

Ex-Rattler for the Phillies:
Greg Dobbs ('02): 0-for-1 as a pinch-hitter

Ex-Midwest Leaguers in the game:

PHI:

Scott Eyre (South Bend, '94 & Peoria '08)

Chad Durbin (Lansing, '97)

Clay Condrey (Fort Wayne, '99)

LA:
Andre Ethier (Kane County, '03)

Nomar Garciaparra (Peoria, '05)

Cory Wade (Great Lakes, '08)

Highlighted Midwest League Alumni for LA:
Ethier was a second round pick out of Arizona State in 2003 and joined Kane County in Mid-July after 10 games with Vancouver in the Northwest League.

He played his final seven regular season games in 2003 against the Timber Rattlers and went 7-for-25.

There are two games for him against the Rattlers that stand out. Ethier went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a run scored, and an RBI in a rain-shortened 5-1 Kane County win on August 28 in Grand Chute.

The other was on August 30 in Kane County. Ethier stepped up with Kane County trailing the Rattlers 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth. The Cougars had the tying and winning runs on first and second. Ethier drew a wak on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. A walk forcing in the tying run and a game-winning single followed to give Kane County the 6-5 win.
