I've been meaning to ask for a while, why bat McKinney 6th? Seems like an odd slot for someone that good.

hard to argue against the order of the first four of yesterday's lineup. guess you could put him ahead of rademacher at 5th.

@JGoro8: Underwood 92-94 with good angle; loose with command. Fastball pops. 73-76 CB; big break. Starts off high, often misses up

 

@JGoro8: When Underwood gets on top of the breaker, and throws it higher in the velo band, it's a more effective pitch.

 

Jeimer with an RBI double to give Kane County an early 1-0 lead.

The gun just had Duane Underwood at 98 MPH, whoa! @KCCougars #cubs

3-1 4th chases Underwood

[Guest]

@JGoro8: Underwood struggling to locate the FB. Consistently falling behind hitters. CB hanging. Yanked in the fourth after giving up 3 spot.

Paul Johnson is an old college buddy. Weird.

Mike Olt hit a game-tying 2-run HR in the bottom of the 8th, haha.

@Houdricourt For second straight game, Mike Olt homers for Class A Kane County in playoffs vs. Wisconsin. #Brewers not real excited about him playing.

 

The Brewers being salty about Olt playing is just.....delicious.

Cubs pull Olt with bases loaded and 1 out in the 9th, because he got his 4 ABs. PH Lockhart promptly botches a suicide squeeze to cause the 2nd out, then lines out on the next pitch to send the game to extras.

Trey Martin hit what he thought was a game winning HR in the bottom of the 11th, but it hit off the top of the wall. Since he was watching it, he was thrown out at 2nd. No comment yet from Dave Kaplan as he searches for Martin's cultural origin.

Bases loaded, none out for KC. Wisconsin has 5 infielders...

Candelario walk-off RBI single!

 

They advance to the MWL Western Division Final.
