The Chattanooga bullpen wastes a fine game by Alex Wimmers.  Nick Gordon and Zach Granite lead Cedar Rapids.  One-run games have not been kind to Twins affiliates recently.

The game:  A single, four walks, and Travis Harrison's two-run single put Chattanooga up 4-0 in the third.  It was 5-0 through seven, but in the eighth Smith's two-run double was the highlight of a four-tun inning that cut the lead to 5-4.  In the ninth, David Rohm tripled in the tying run and scored on a squeeze bunt to win the game for Mississippi.

The game:  The Miracle opened the third with four consecutive hits, leading to three runs and a 3-0 lead.  It stayed 3-0 until the fifth, when three singles and Katz' three-run double tied the score.  There was no more scoring, and not even much of a threat of a score, until the bottom of the tenth.  A hit batsman, a stolen base, and a walk put men on first and second with two out for the Cardinals and Luke Voit singled home the winning run.
