The Chiefs and Scott is strong pitching performance from Eli Kempbell,

who would go six innings giving him just three hits to pick up the win.

Ethan Kagle would come on in the seventh inning to nail down the win.

Offensively, Bevan Dennis, Ethan Kagle, and Wyatt Sram would each collect two hits.

While Henry Dron added a big run scoring double, the Chiefs are five and one on the season

A pair of battered balls that didn't travel 50 feet started a game winning rally for the brewers

on Wednesday night. When the bottom of the eighth inning was finished, Milwaukee had a pair of runs

that would snap a six game losing streak and Toronto was on the losing end of a 2-1 score.

Then Abner, Yaree Bay came on and slammed the door on the blue jays, a welcome change from recent

bullpen failures. Manager Pad Murphy talked of the win. I don't know the word out of the

funk we're all in. It just feels nice to win a ball game and have the guys regain some belief.

And they won the game during the game. And Murphy talked about his team's defense.

You know, Ortiz was great on defense and Hamilton was great on defense.

There's little things that happen in the game. Lockridge, two two great plays on defense.

One incredible play. You know, we just we just battle.
