Next on the schedule is a 3-game series against the 1st place Charlotte Sting at Centennial Stadium

In game 1 the Sting dominate behind the excellent pitching of Mike Hiatt. Hiatt, who was the 15th player chosen overall in the 1967 draft and who pitched a no-hitter against the L.A. Spinners in 1970, allowed just 2 hits to the Brewers in this game, while striking out 6 and walking 5. The Sting win 6-0 as Cheol-han Lee has one of his weakest outings of the season, giving up 5 runs on 11 hits in just 5 1/3rd innings pitched. Lee falls to 9-3 with a 2.04 ERA. And of course, Jamison Bash, who was hitting so poorly for the Brewers this season before being traded to Charlotte, went 4 for 5 with 2 doubles in his first game back at Centennial Stadium against his former club.

Game 2 gave another glimpse of the potential of the youth movement for the Brewers, as they won 6-3 in 11 innings thanks to a Jonathan Koch (.264/.310/.453) grand-slam HR, his 3rd HR in 114 plate appearances in this his rookie season. A former Brewer once again shone- this time starting pitcher Adam Getchell, who allowed just 1 run (unearned) on 3 hits in 7 innings pitched while striking out 10 Brewer hitters and walking none. Another solid start from Erik Sloan helped keep the Brewers in the game and the score was 1-1 at the end of 9 innings. Miguel Solis gave up 2 runs to the Sting in the top of the 11th setting up the heroics in the bottom of the 11th by youngster Koch.

Following the script of the series, it was the turn of another former Brewer to come up with the big game- this time it was Tanner Yurek, who had not hit a HR in a Brewers uniform this season but belted a 3-run job against Harry Lyerly to get things off to a good start for the Sting offense in what would prove to be a 5-2 victory for the visitors. Lyerly gave up 5 runs on 7 hits in 7 innings pitched and drops to 6-4 with a 3.25 ERA. Paul Mackins (.291/.310/.345) had a nice day for the losing side, going 2 for 4 in the lead-off slot, hitting his 4th double of the season.

With the series loss against the first place Sting, the Brewers drop to 8 1/2 games out but remain in 4th place.
