The Hens quest for a 4-0 start fell short as starter Tyler Alexander and reliever Caleb Thielbar took a beating. Alexander was knocked out of the game with two outs in the fourth, surrendering four earned runs on seven hits, including a pair of Louisville home runs. The Hens mounted a two-run rally in the seventh to pull within three. Pete Kozma was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to plate one run, while Dawel Lugo scampered home on a wild pitch for the second run. The comeback ended there, though.
