Five-Run Ninth Takes Timber Rattlers to 9-2 Win

June 12, 2025 - Midwest League (MWL)
Great Lakes Loons News Release


MIDLAND, Mich. - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (31-29) scored nine runs on 12 hits, highlighted by a five-run four-hit top of the ninth to beat the Great Lakes Loons (31-29) 9-2 on a 72-degree cloudy Thursday night at Dow Diamond.

- Against Jorge Gonzalez, the Timber Rattlers had seven straight batters reach with two outs in the ninth. The Garcia's (no relation) Eduardo and Yhoswar each hit two-run doubles. Blake Burke drove in the first of five runs in the inning. Two walks and two errors helped supply the runs.

- Loons' starter Luke Fox worked well and efficiently, with one run permitted through his first four frames. In the fifth, the first four Wisconsin batters reached, all on singles. Yhoswar Garcia bunted aboard and stole second and third. Blayberg Diaz won a seven-pitch battle to drive in Garcia. Jadher Areinamo and Blake Burke delivered back-to-back sacrifice flies, in a three-run fifth inning.

- Down 4-0 in the sixth Zyhir Hope cut the Wisconsin lead in half. The Dodgers No. 3 prospect, with two on and two out, rifled a 1-2 pitch that one-hopped to the right-center field wall. Hope has 15 doubles, tied for third in the Midwest League.

- Over the final three innings, Great Lakes left four on base. Wisconsin's Patricio Aquino ended the seventh and eighth with a strikeout.

Luke Fox finished six innings. It is just the fourth Loons loss in 18 games where a starter has completed five innings.
