PEORIA, IL -- Peoria Chief starting pitcher Stuart Pomeranz struck out ten Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and gave up just three hits over seven shutout innings as the Chiefs beat the Rattlers 7-1 Tuesday night at O'Brien Field. John-Paul Davis homered while Anthony Monegan Brendan Ryan each drove in a pair of runs for Peoria.
Davis hit a two-out solo homer in the bottom of the third inning to put the Chiefs in front 1-0.

Jarrett Hoffpauir drove in the final run of the inning with another sacrifice fly.
The Rattlers (57-76, 26-38) avoided the shutout with a run in the eighth against the Chief bullpen. Josh Womack tripled with one out and scored on a Nick Orlandos groundout.
