It was another come from behind win for the Brewers last night.

Jackson Cheerio had some heroics in the bottom of the ninth inning with two out.

Here's the 0-1 pitch.

We are tied!

I guess it was the right bat.

That ball was obliterated.

It changed up on the inside corner and Jackson Churio hits number 22 to tie this thing up 3-3 in the ninth.

And the game went to the 10th.

Cheerio is 4 for 5 with 3 runs batted in by the way and the winning hit.

Chris

Bistellar in it.

Down the left field line,

that's

her base hit.

The Brewers walk off the cubs and they win this series here in Milwaukee.

The kid gets it done here tonight.

DL Hall earned the win.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind of, you know, in our identity is, you know, we get punched and we just get back up and keep fighting.

The bullpen, same thing, you know, we're just trying to hold the line, win, lose or tie.

We're just trying to hold them where they're at and give those guys a chance to do.

Exactly what Cheerio and Lara just did.

And Jacob Mizorowski pitched well.

And the fact after giving up an early run, settled down and went a long ways into the game.

Manager Pat Murphy, he's just scratching the surface.

This kid

can be really, really good.

You know, like he's worn out.

We all know that, but this kid can be really, really special.

I mean, he's just learning how to pitch.

Um, he's got electric stuff.

And Jackson Cheerio was the hero again.

He loves it.

You know, he loves it and stays after it, believes in himself.

You know, he knows how capable he is.

And when he's in that right and he's got that dial on the right, right speed, careful.

And we've seen it all too much in his first three years.

Logan Henderson starts the series finale for the Brewers.

That is a nighttime game today, by the way, five minutes after six for the pregame programming on WRC EFM 107.7.

The new NFL season begins tonight.

New England will be at Seattle.

Kickoff time 7-20 this evening.

Pro football writers are offering mixed predictions for the 26 Green Bay Packers.

There's not nearly as much optimism as there was last season at this time.

Bleacher Report points to a leaky defense and unproven running backs while saying the passing game should be good.

NFL.com expects the Vikings to give the Packers a lot of trouble in that opener Sunday.

All experts note that the Green Bay will benefit from weak opponents during the early part of the season.
