APPLETON, WI - For the first time this season, fans could be seen without winter jackets on Saturday afternoon as nearly 1,500 fans were treated to a close ballgame. In the end, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers beat the Beloit Snappers by a narrow score of 4-3.

Beloit scored first on Ricky Aracena's double to make 1-0. But the Timber Rattlers answered with three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Beloit tied it late, but the Rattlers hung on to the one-run victory. Devin Hairston tallied his first hit of the year being his first home run of the season.

Other key players worth highlighting for the Snappers: Connor Scott had a 3-for-4 day with a pair of runs scored. Griffin Conine logged his first multi-hit game of the season, going 2-for-3. Finally, Josh Simpson threw 2 1/3 scoreless out of the bullpen.
