The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers walked off by scoring three runs on a wild pitch

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers entered the ninth inning on Friday trailing the Burlington Bees, 6-2. But Milwaukee's Class A affiliate promptly got a rally going, cutting the deficit to two and loading the bases with two outs.
With the winning run on first, Burlington Bees closer Blake Ziemba knew that the game could end on a single pitch. He just didn't think that the game could end on a single pitch ... that the batter failed to make contact with:
