Jason Vargas completed the game without help from the bullpen as the WISCONSIN
TIMBER RATTLERS defeated the INDIANAPOLIS CLOWNS by a score of 3 to 2 at
Minute Maid Park.
 
In the 4th inning WISCONSIN went on top for good scoring a single run on 2
hits.  After an out was recorded, Corey Patterson doubled.  One out later,
Doug Fister came up and he fired a sharp breaking ball that appeared to
cross-up the catcher.  In any event, it got by him and was ruled a passed
ball.  Chone Figgins then laced a base-hit.  Vargas was next to the plate,
but was promptly struck out.  Both teams' bats went to sleep after the 4th
inning with no runs scored after that point.  
 
Vargas(2-4), allowing 2 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Fister(3-3)
was the loser.  He allowed 3 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings.  
 

Rattlers Win 2-1 Behind Myers.

Felix Hernandez had a strong outing as the WISCONSIN TIMBER RATTLERS beat the
JACKSONVILLE SUNS by a score of 3 to 1.
 
WISCONSIN did all of it's offensive work in the 3rd inning when they scored 3
runs on 4 hits.  The early run support proved sufficient for Hernandez(3-4)
and WISCONSIN.  That was all the run support Hernandez required.  WISCONSIN
had only 4 hits for the game.  
 
The losing pitcher was Madison Bumgarner(4-3).  Wth the win WISCONSIN now has
a record of 15-13.  Mike Horvath was unhappy with his club's recent
performance.  'We can't keep losing games' he said.  'It gets to be
embarrassing after a while.'
