Kevin McGonigle walks it off for Lakeland to hold the divisional lead

The Mud Hens needed a victory on Sunday to split the series in Iowa with the Cubs. A good game for the offense got it done after a pair of mediocre days at the plate.

Bryan Sammons gave the Hens a pretty solid outing on Friday, but the offense was held in check.

Spencer Torkelson launched a solo shot in the first inning to give the Hens a quick 1-0 lead. Sammons allowed the Cubs to tie it up in the second, but in the third, Andrew Navigato tripled and scored on a Parker Meadows line drive single to make it 2-1 Hens.
