Matt Manning struggled again and the bullpen did even worse on Tuesday. The Hens lineup fought back with a big push in the late innings but ultimately fell short.
Manning gave up three solo shots in this one and couldn’t get through the fifth inning. Meanwhile, his teammates were blanked for six innings. Andrew Magno took over and cleaned up the fifth, but then gave up a pair of runs in the sixth. PJ Poulin was even worse, surrendering three runs in the seventh inning. At that point it was 8-1 Omaha after Bligh Madris lifted a solo shot to right field in the top of the seventh.
