GAME ONE:

GAME TWO:
The Rattlers won 3-1. Dylan Johnston homered in the first inning off Justin Souza. Kuo Hui Lo drove in two runs with a single in the fifth inning. In the sixth, Carlos Peguero hit a ball out of the stadium to right that wound up rolling down the street and may still be going. Rattler record after this game: 16-31

The Rattlers are 4-5 on May 27...since 2000. Weird day. Against: Almost no-hit, shutout two other times, and blown out in Michigan. For: Big win in Dayton, 9th inning comeback in Kane County, and a loooooooong home run in Peoria. At least May 27 is memorable.
