Milwaukee Brewers Report: Games of September 10, 2009

MILWAUKEE (MAJ: 66-73; 4th National League Central): The Brewers were off on Thursday.

HUNTSVILLE (AA: Southern League): The Stars beat Tennessee 4-3 in Game One of their playoff series. Steffan Wilson hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to erase a 3-1 Smokies lead.

"We went crazy," starting pitcher Josh Butler said of the reaction in the dugout to Wilson's homer. "It's the same as it is right now (in the clubhouse). It was a good experience."

But until Wilson's homer, it looked like one more loss for a team that couldn't seem to get the big hit. The Stars left runners at second and third in the seventh and four runners had been stranded in scoring position. One swing of Wilson's bat, however, provided the antidote.

HELENA (SHORT SEASON ROOKIE: 32-43; 12-25 second half; 3rd Pioneer League North Division): The Brewers won 4-3 over Missoula.
