It took 12 innings, but the Toledo Mud Hens broke through to win over Round Rock on Thursday night. A key hit by Brewer Hicklen in the top of the 12th inning finally tipped the scales in the Hens favor for good as they went on to win 7-4.
Matt Manning needed a better outing after a rough first start of the season. He was certainly better, but it was still pretty rough going at times. Command was still an issue, as he walked three and struggled to make pitches for short stretches throughout his 4 2⁄3 innings of work.
