Peoria Chiefs News Release
PEORIA, Ill. - The Peoria Chiefs hit three home runs en route to a 4-3 win over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Thursday. With the win, the Chiefs snapped a season-long eight game losing streak in the process.
With a scoreless tie in the bottom of the second, the Chiefs took control thanks to two home runs in the inning. With one away in the inning, Tyler Reichenborn parked one onto Jefferson Avenue to give Peoria a 1-0 lead. It was his fourth blast of the year. Three batters later, Matt Chamberlain hit his fifth home run of the season, a two-run blast, to stretch the Peoria lead to 3-0.
Wisconsin got one back in the top of the fourth inning but the Chiefs immediately answered. Chandler Redmond led off the bottom of the frame with a 425-foot blast to make it 4-1.
From there, Logan Gragg carried the load. The Chiefs starter went six innings and allowed just three hits while striking out five. He picked up his first professional win in the process.
Freddy Pacheco allowed a ninth inning run, but was able to secure the save, his fifth of the year. Pacheco stranded the tying-run at first base and helped snap the losing skid.
The Chiefs will look to even the series tomorrow, as Nick Trogrlic-Iverson starts for the Chiefs. First pitch is slated for 6:35 p.m.
