Brewers Minor League Link Report (5/9): Corniel, Patrick, Warren Stand Out in 4-Win Thursday
Daniel Corniel and Chad Patrick had excellent starts once again in wins for Carolina and Nashville. Zavier Warren provided the walk-off and more in Biloxi’s victory, while Wisconsin took the sole loss.
RHP Logan Henderson sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers from High-A Wisconsin

In a game as tight as this, it’s worth noting that the greatest recorded win probability swings all came with RHP Nolan Blackwood on the mound in the bottom of the 10th inning. Consecutive singles tightened the score to 3-2 with 2-on and nobody out, but Blackwood and the Sounds managed to escape with a line out, wild pitch, strikeout, intentional walk and game-ending ground out.
