The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are on a roll, winning their sixth consecutive game by defeating the Cedar Rapids Kernels 10-1 on Friday night at Neuroscience Group Field in Grand Chute, WI. The Rattlers did a little bit of everything in the game, with starting pitcher Wande Torres allowing one run on three hits and no walks over six innings and Daniel Corniel allowing one hit over three innings of relief.
Strong Performance
Braylon Payne and Josiah Ragsdale each had two hits, including a homer. Luis Peña led Wisconsin’s team with four of the team’s eight stolen bases during the game. The defense also sparkled with several great plays throughout the game in an error-free contest.
The 6-0 mark to start the second half of the season is the most consecutive wins to open a half by any Timber Rattlers team since the start of the franchise in 1995. Wisconsin entered Friday night tied with the 2001 team, which opened the second half of that season 5-0.
Cedar Rapids took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, but the Rattlers responded in the bottom of the second and never looked back. The Rattlers will look to continue their winning streak on Saturday night at Neuroscience Group Field.
