The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers tried to cling on to their one-run lead on Saturday against the Peoria Chiefs, but gave up two runs in the bottom of the eighth and lost 3-2. Peoria got on the board with a run in the second inning. Wisconsin got their first run in the top of the fifth inning with a Joe Gray Jr. solo home run. The Rattlers followed that up with a run in the sixth via a Je’Von Ward RBI single. The lead would be short-lived, as the Chiefs two eight-inning runs came off a pair of solo homers. 

The loss puts Wisconsin’s record at 31-33 on the season. The Timber-Rattlers play the Chiefs in a road game again at 1:35 PM on Sunday.
