Wisconsin Timber Rattlers News Release
GRAND CHUTE, WI - Cameron Roegner pitched six scoreless innings and Monte Harrison drove in three runs for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Friday night at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium and it was enough for a 4-1 win over the Peoria Chiefs.

Wisconsin (8-7) went in front with a pair of runs in the bottom of the third. Demi Orimoloye doubled with two outs to drive Joantgel Segovia home from first base to get Wisconsin the lead. Peoria pitcher Ian Oxnevad walked Mario Feliciano and hit Tucker Neuhaus to load the bases. Harrison drew a walk after falling behind 1-2 in the count to force in the second run of the inning.
Harrison, who homered twice on Thursday night, lined a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning on Friday to put the Rattlers up 4-0. The homer was the fifth of the season for Harrison, who has twelve RBI this season. He was 1-for-2 with two walks on Friday night to extend his current hitting streak to seven games. He is 12-for-25 during the streak.
