This series is not going well so far. After Matt Manning and Ty Madden got blown up in their starts, lefty Lael Lockhart Jr. gave them a fine outing on Thursday, but the bats were quiet and they lost their third straight to these scrappy meteorological enthusiasts.
Lockhart one-hit the Storm Chasers over five innings, shutting them out without a walk while striking out five. The Hens threatened in the second inning with three straight singles from Dillon Dingler, Justice Bigbie, and Ryan Kreidler, but a strikeout and a double play ball squandered the opportunity. They wouldn’t get another one that good.
