The Mud Hens pretty much had their way with the Louisville Bats last week and that continued over the weekend. They won the first five straight, and then built a huge lead on Sunday and held on for the sweep to run their record to 48-53 on the year.
Friday night’s matchup was a big one for starter Brant Hurter. After struggling mightily in his Triple-A debut, Hurter hasn’t been able to seize an opportunity with the Tigers’ rotation banged up. Hopefully this outing was the start of something as the big lefty one-hit the Bats over seven innings, striking out six without a walk issued.
