Midwest League Action (7/9)

July 9 scoreboard.

Random paragraph day:

@Dayton 9, Wisconsin 1: For the Dragons, maybe it is a turnaround following a dismal end to the first half. For the Timber Rattlers, it's more of the same. Wisconsin is 3-16 in the second half and has lost 11 straight.

@Fort Wayne 7, Beloit 6: Zawadzki flipped his bat in celebration and took a second to admire Fort Wayne’s first slam at home this season.

Quad Cities 8, @South Bend 2: "We had some communication breakdowns,'' added Haley.

@West Michigan 5, Clinton 3: With a five run rally in the bottom of the eighth fueled by a pair of Clinton errors, the Whitecaps rallied past the LumberKings, 5-3. Both errors were low throws to first base by third baseman Jonathan Greene and led to a pair of unearned runs.

Burlington 5, @Great Lakes 3: The first error of the 2008 season was a costly one for new Loons third baseman Brandon Taylor.

@Lansing 3, Cedar Rapids 2 (F/10): Now, he's already been promoted and helped the Lansing Lugnuts get a win with a game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning of Wednesday's 3-2 victory against the Cedar Rapids Kernels.

Peoria 5, @Kane County 1: Cougars manager Aaron Nieckula offered a stern evaluation of his team’s sloppy performance Wednesday in a 5-1 loss to Peoria. “It’s rather embarrassing,” Nieckula said.
