The Brewers continue their uneven play as we head into mid-June.
In the second game of three against the lowly Charlotte Sting, the Brewers get a fabulous start from the Captain, Abel Pennington. Pennington works 9 2/3rds scoreless innings, scattering 8 hits, striking out 4 while walking just 2 batters. With just the tiniest bit of run support he earns a win. But instead the game goes into the 14th inning with neither team having scored. The Sting then break through for 2 runs in the top of the 14th, but the Brewers manage to rally to tie the game in the bottom of that frame.
Finally, in the 16th, a Nate Chapman solo HR breaks the tie again and the Brewers fail to score in the bottom of the 16th and lose 3-2.
In game 3 of the series, the Brewers get another rather disappointing performance from supposed ace, Cheol-han Lee, but the offense comes alive, particularly thanks to youngster Andrew Kennedy, who goes 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored and 2 RBI and hits his 5th double of the season, and the Brewers win 9-5 and get the series victory.
