Peoria (48-60 overall, 22-21 second half) took a 2-0 lead with two runs in the first inning. Chase Davis and Leonardo Bernal had consecutive singles with one out. Tre Richardson singled to left and an error on the play allowed Davis to score with Bernal and Richardson both taking an extra base. A wild pitch with two outs allowed Bernal to score.
The Timber Rattlers (67-41, 25-17) cut into the deficit with an RBI grounder by Luke Adams in the bottom of the first.
The Chiefs collected three more runs in the second inning on three straight two-out RBI hits. Miguel Villaroel drove in the first run with a two-out single. Davis and Bernal followed with RBI doubles and Peoria was up 5-1.
Peoria added another run in the fourth inning. They had runners at the corners with no outs when Davis grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to score the runner from third.
Darlin Saladin, the Peoria starting pitcher, retired fifteen of sixteen batters he faced after a single by Blake Burke in the first inning. Burke had walked with one out in the fourth inning to snap a streak of eight Rattlers retired by Saladin.
Burke would collect his second hit of the game with a two-out single in the sixth inning to break another streak of eight consecutive Rattlers set down by Saladin. Wisconsin loaded the bases against Saladin in the frame as Luke Adams walked and Matt Wood singled. This rally chased Saladin from the game.
Roy Garcia took over for Saladin and got a strikeout to end the inning and strand all three runners. Saladin allowed one run on three hits with two walks and three strikeouts over 5-2/3 innings for his fifth win of the season for the Chiefs.
Wood tripled with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Eduardo Garcia drove in Wood with a single to give Wisconsin its second run. Roy Garcia ended any thoughts of a Timber Rattlers comeback with a game-ending 4-6-3 double play.
Burke and Wood both had two hits for the Timber Rattlers.
