The Mud Hens lost again — they’re now just 1-5 — but the fun of following the minor leagues is rarely about wins and losses. Shawn Hill got the start and pitched a solid 7.1 innings (3 K, 0 BB, 1 HR, 3 ER). Evan Reed and Matt Hoffman both struck out the lone batters they faced in relief, but Luis Marte (1.0+ IP, 1 K, 2 BB, 1 ER) took the loss.

Danny Worth, Jordan Lennerton (2B), and Argenis Diaz (2B) all had two hits. Nick Castellanos had one single and one strikeout in five plate appearances.

Andy Oliver trolled the organization by throwing five scoreless innings with five strikeouts for Indianapolis. He now has a 0.00 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 11 innings this season, though his 6 walks allowed suggest he hasn’t figured everything out.

Erie 2, Binghamton 1

Erie and Binghamton combined for 18 hits in this ballgame, but the two teams could only muster a total of three runs. Ramon Cabrera went 4-4 with a double, Jamie Johnson had two singles, and Tyler Collins, James Robbins, and Brandon Douglas each had a double.

Kyle Lobstein got the start for the SeaWolves. He went 5.2 innings, struck out four, walked one, allowed five hits, and gave up one run. Michael Morrison (2.1 IP, 1 K) and Justin Souza (1 IP, 2 K) combined to hold Binghamton scoreless in relief.

Erie moves to 3-3

A-Advanced

Jeff McVaney had Lakeland’s only extra base hit, a double, and Eugenio Suarez (1B, BB) and Chad Wright (2 BB) were the only ones to reach base twice in the game.

Lakeland is 2-3 on the season.
