Wisconsin Timber Rattlers News Release


GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Quad Cities River Bandits scored four runs in the top of the first inning and went on to a 10-1 victory over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Sunday afternoon at Neuroscience Group Field.

For the second game in a row, Quad Cities (18-6) jumped out to an early lead. The River Bandits sent nine men to the plate and scored four runs against Wisconsin starter Kodi Medeiros in the first inning. They loaded the bases with no outs on a double, a walk, and an error. Medeiros walked Mott Hyde on four pitches to force in the first run of the game. Nick Tanielu was next and he singled to drive in two more runs. Alfredo Gonzalez knocked in the final run of the inning by grounding into a force play at second.

Scooter Gennett started the Timber Rattlers half of the first inning with a double and a grounder to the right side of the infield by Gregory Munoz moved Gennett to third base. But, that was where he was left stranded.

Quad Cities starting pitcher Joe Musgrove scattered five hits over five scoreless innings to earn his fourth win of the season.

The River Bandits added to their lead in the fifth inning when they loaded the bases with no outs against Medeiros again. Reliever Josh Uhen took over for Medeiros and struck out the first two batters he faced, but Kristian Trompiz drove a two-out single up the middle that scored two runs.

The score moved to 8-0 in the top of the sixth inning on an RBI double by Hyde and an RBI grounder by Gonzalez.

Wisconsin (8-16) got their lone run of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning. Carlos Leal doubled with two outs. Then, Tucker Neuhaus singled up the middle to drive in Leal.

Leal, Gennett, and Mitch Meyer each had two hits in the game for Wisconsin. Meyer extended his current hitting streak to six games. Elvis Rubio had a single in the second inning to move his current hitting streak to seven games, the longest streak by a Timber Rattlers player this season.

But, Wisconsin went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position on Sunday and stranded eight runners.

Quad Cities scored their final runs of the game with two outs in the top of the ninth against David Burkhalter. Trompiz tripled with two away and none on base. Bobby Boyd followed with a triple to drive in Trompiz. Jamie Ritchie knocked in Boyd when he made it three triples in a row.

The Rattlers dropped their third straight game. Quad Cities, owners of the best record in the Midwest League, have won five straight.

The Timber Rattlers begin a three-game series with the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Monday night. Luis Ortega (0-2, 4.32) is the scheduled starting pitcher for Wisconsin. Jared Wilson (2-0, 1.65) is set to start for the Kernels. Game time is 6:35pm.

Monday is also the final scheduled game of Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett's rehab assignment with the Timber Rattlers. Gennett is 3-for-7 in his first three games with the Rattlers on this assignment.
