Key inning:  The fourth.  After the Timber Rattlers had tied the score at five in the top of the third, the Snappers re-took the lead 6-5 in the bottom.  In the fourth, however, Wisconsin scored twice to take a lead they would not relinquish.  All the damage came with two out, as Chadwin Stang walked, Macias tripled, and Max Walla singled.

Other:  Tim Shibuya had another bad outing.  The suspicion lingers that he may be hiding an injury...The Timber Rattlers will have their Salute to Cows on Wednesday.  You get a cow and cheese patterned baseball and are promised "plenty of cow and dairy related fun".
