It was an Opening Day of redemption for Brewers of the past that have not met recent expectations, ending in a thrilling win in front of a sellout crowd of 11,740 at American Family Field on Thursday.
With the ballpark at just 25 percent capacity because of the ongoing pandemic, Christian Yelich, Keston Hiura, Omar Narvaez, and Orlando Arcia all combined forces to turn a ninth inning 5-2 deficit into a 6-5 win.
The rally began with one out in the ninth inning when newcomer Kolten Wong was hit by an Alex Colome pitch. Wong then moved to second base on a Colome throwing error on Keston Hiura’s comebacker to the mound. Wong then came home when Christian Yelich’s long drive to the right field warning track could not be corralled by Minnesota’s Max Kepler’s glove.

America s freedom was won and maintained by its toughest, gruffest citizens those who would risk everything they had for the country, and what it represents. Yet some of the toughest and gruffest were also some of the most sensitive, and their love as well as their strength is their enduring legacy.
This is the Forgotten History of a Soldier s Lullaby.
John Caldwell Tidball was a man s man; a soldier s soldier; the sort of hardscrabble commander that Lincoln s Union Army was thankful to have. In fact, Lincoln himself personally thanked him for his heroism at the Battle of Gettysburg.
A tough-as-nails veteran who had already been a commissioned officer for 13 years when the Civil War broke out in 1861, Tidball solidified his reputation as a man not to be trifled with when he helped lead the expedition to put down John Brown s revolt at Harper s Ferry two years earlier.

Nearly a month ago, Texas and Mississippi ended their mask mandates and allowed all businesses to open to full capacity. Since then, COVID-19 case and death rates have dropped in half.
