GRAND CHUTE, WI -- The Swing of the Quad Cities banged out 15 hits on their way to a 13-5 win over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in game one of a double header Tuesday night at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. Brandon Buckman lead the hit parade with three hits, including a home run. Luke Gorsett and Willian Sandoval also homered in the game for the Swing.

Rattler starting pitcher Tony Butler retired the first two batters of the game with no problem. But, Buckman drilled a 2-0 pitch from Butler over the wall for his thirteenth home run of the season. Butler walked the next batter and Christian Reyes singled to put two runners on base. Jared Schweitzer followed with an RBI single. An RBI double by Jaime Landin made the score 3-0. Gorsett hit a three-run homer to cap the inning.

Wisconsin (17-39) got a run in the bottom of the first. Carlos Peguero's RBI double came with two outs to cut the Swing lead to 6-1.
