Postgame Podcast includes comments from Nick Stanley, Josiah Ragsdale, & Josh Adamczewski

Peoria (3-8) grabbed the early lead. Won-Bin Cho was hit by a pitch to start the game. Rainiel Rodriguez lined a triple to right-center to drive in Cho. An RBI grounder off the bat of Jalin Flores drove in Rodriguez for a 2-0 advantage.

Sammy Hernandez added a run for the Chiefs in the top of the second with an RBI grounder. In the third, José Suárez lined a two-out, solo homer to left for a 4-0 lead.

Wisconsin (7-3) had runners at the corners with no outs in the bottom of the third inning. David Garcia grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to get the run home from third.

Tanner Franklin, the Chiefs starting pitcher, struck out three straight Rattlers to retire the side in order in the bottom of the fourth to give him six strikeouts. He went back out for the fifth but was not as fortunate.

Adamczewski started the frame reaching on a hit batsman. Eric Bitonti hit a high popup to left field that was dropped by Suárez for an error. That brought Ragsdale to the plate as the tying run. Ragsdale launched a three-run run home run deep to right to even the score 4-4.

The Chiefs went back into the lead in the top of the sixth. Jose Cordoba drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out RBI single to center.

Peoria reliever Christian Worley got the first out of the bottom of the sixth but hung a 3-2 pitch to Dinges. The Rattlers designated hitter crushed the ball off the videoboard for his second homer of the season and a tie game.

Adamczewski, who had homered in game one of Wednesday’s twinbill, followed with a long home run to center to give Wisconsin its first lead of the nightcap.

Michael Fowler pitched around a lead-off walk in the seventh to close out the game and the doubleheader sweep.

Game three of the series is set for Thursday night at Neuroscience Group Field. Ethan Dorchies (0-1, 9.95) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Peoria places Leonel Sequera (0-0, 6.75) on the mound to start. Game time is 6:40pm CDT.
