BANDITS VISIT TIMER RATTLERS: The River Bandits are making their only second-half trip to Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium in Wisconsin for a three-game series. The Timber Rattlers have been the Class-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Breweres since matching Clinton (Seattle Mariners) for the longest current affiliation in the Western Division. In, the Timber Rattlers finished and reached the playoffs via the second playoff spot in the second half. A Wisconsin win on the second-to-last day of the season officially eliminated Quad Cities from contention. The Timber Rattlers also won in Davenport on the third-to-last day of the first half to eliminate the River Bandits from the first-half race. The Timber Rattlers, who last won the league title in 2012, were swept in the first round last September by eventual champion Kane County. Since joining the Midwest League in 1962, the Appleton/Fox Cities/Wisconsin franchise has also been affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles ( ), Chicago White Sox ( ), Kansas City Royals ( ), and Seattle Mariners ( ). Wisconsins s All-Stars were catcher Carlos Leal (who did not play due to injury) and pitcher Cy Sneed (who recorded one out and allowed one hit on the mound). Of the 25 currently active players for the River Bandits, only 11 were with the club when it last played in Wisconsin May 3, while 14 have not been with the club for either of the first two series with Wisconsin. HIGH-WATER MARK: The River Bandits best overall record this season (achieved five times) is 26 games above the club s best since finishing 28 games above.500 (83-55) in Quad Cities held the best record in professional baseball - major leagues, Mexican League and affiliated minor leagues (a total of 166 teams) - from the end of games May It became the first team in baseball to win 30 games May 18.
