The Hens won on Thursday, and then took down Columbus on Friday and Saturday to at least earn a split. The Clippers did manage to split the series on Sunday.
Brant Hurter got the start on Friday, and still hasn’t really settled in at the Triple-A level. His walk rate has been uncharacteristically high, and he walked three in this one over four innings. They got to him with a solo shot in the first, and then two more in the fifth, but the Hens offense took over in the middle innings.
Bligh Madris led off the top of the fourth with a double and took third on a wild pitch to Justice Bigbie, who drew a walk.
