Wisconsin Timber Rattlers News Release
DAVENPORT, IA - The Quad Cities River Bandits beat the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 4-2 on Tuesday night at Modern Woodmen Park. The Bandits scored three times thanks to a bout of wildness in the third inning and held off the Rattlers for a four-game sweep of the series.
Timber Rattler starting pitcher Evan Frederickson lost the strike zone in the third inning. He walked four batters in the frame, hit a batter, and threw a wild pitch. There was also a single in the inning as the River Bandits scored enough for the win. The Quad Cities runs scored on a bases loaded wild pitch, a bases loaded walk, and a bases loaded hit batsman.
Wisconsin (7-10) got on the scoreboard in the top of the seventh. Brock Kjeldgaard singled to start the inning. Michael Vass followed with a triple to right-center to knock in Kjeldgaard. However, none of the next three Rattler hitters could cash in Vass and the score was 3-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh.
Quad Cities (10-7) made Wisconsin pay for not taking full advantage of their opportunity in the top of the inning. The Bandits put together three singles in the inning. The last one was an RBI single by Domnit Bolivar to make the score 4-1.
Wisconsin loaded the bases in the top of the eighth inning and got a run on a sacrifice fly by Kjeldgaard. But, they would leave the bases loaded and trail 4-2 heading to the ninth.
Casey Mulligan nailed down the win with a 1-2-3 ninth inning to pick up his fifth save of the season.
The Rattlers return home to begin a nine-game homestand with a game against the Great Lakes Loons on Wednesday night. Cody Adams (0-1, 3.27) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Kyle Smit (0-0, 3.24) is scheduled to start for the Loons. Game time at Time Warner Cable Field is 6:35pm.
