The Hens jumped out to an early lead and poured it on to win going away on Friday night.
They gave Tigers fans exactly what they wanted in the first inning. Justyn-Henry Malloy launched a solo shot with one out in the top of the first, and after Nick Maton struck out, Andre Lipcius drew a walk to keep the inning alive for Colt Keith. It was good that he did, as Keith proceeded to unleash an absolute bomb to right field to make it 3-0 Hens. The two-run shot, his second in three games at the Triple-A level, left the bat at 108 mph and travelled 473 feet out of the park onto the road beyond the right field concourse.
