Lakeland seizes first place with four games left on the calendar

Another day, another tough go for the Mud Hens. They were held to just six hits while Indy pounded out 19 and scored in all but two innings. In better news, Wenceel Perez went 0-for-3 in this one, but looked like he’s starting to find his timing.

Mason Englert was tagged for three runs in the first two innings alone. Bryan Sammons took over in the third and was a distinct improvement, but still allowed two runs while striking out five. Garrett Hill and Andrew Magno each allowed a pair of runs in relief.

The Hens got on the board in the second when Bligh Madris and Eddys Leonard both walked, and Madris scored on a Justice Bigbie single.
