Wisconsin Timber Rattlers News Release
GRAND CHUTE, WI - Less than 24 hours after the Quad Cities River Bandits shutout the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, three Rattlers pitchers combined on a 4-hit shutout of the Bandits. Wisconsin beat Quad Cities 3-0 on Sunday afternoon at Time Warner Cable Field. Tyler Thornburg tossed six scoreless frames and struck out eight for his second win of the season. Eric Marzec and Greg Holle pitched the final three frames to close out the victory.
All the offense Wisconsin (12-15) needed came in the third inning. Reggie Keen tripled with one out. An RBI grounder by Nick Shaw drove Keen home for a 1-0 lead.
Cody Hawn homered, his second of the season, to lead off the Rattlers fourth inning. Later in the frame, Tyler Roberts drove in the third run of the game with a sacrifice fly and Wisconsin was up 3-0.
Quad Cities (14-16) got a double from Greg Garcia to start the game and a two out single from Cody Stanley in the first inning. But, Thornburg did not allow a River Bandit past second base. Thornburg walked two, hit a batter, and gave up just one more hit in the game.
Marzec worked around a walk in the seventh and a hit in the eighth to keep the River Bandits off the scoreboard.
Then, Holle pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save in five attempts this season.
The final game of the series between the Rattlers and River Bandits is Monday evening at Time Warner Cable Field. Matt Miller (1-3, 4.34) is the scheduled starting pitcher for Wisconsin. Trevor Rosenthal (1-3, 3.00) gets the start for Quad Cities. Game time is 6:35pm.
Monday night is a bonus Bang for Your Buck Night with soda, beer, and hot dogs available for $1.
