GRAND CHUTE, WI - Peoria Chiefs first baseman Justin Bour drove in six runs Thursday night at Time Warner Cable Field. The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers offense managed just four hits in Thursday's game. The Chiefs beat the Rattlers 13-1.

Peoria (56-50 overall, 18-19 second half) started their scoring binge early. Leadoff batter Hak-Ju Lee doubled to start the game against Wisconsin starting pitcher Eric Arnett. One out later Matt Cedar singled to drive in Lee.

In the second, Arnett got the first two outs. But, Luis Flores doubled to keep the inning alive. Then, Anthony Giansanti singled and Flores scored.

In the third, Bour picked up his first RBI of the night with a run scoring ground out. Later in the inning, DJ Fitzgerald and Jae-Hoon Ha had RBI singles to make the score 5-0.

Bour added an RBI single in the top of the fourth to put the Chiefs up 6-0.
