Affiliates sweep as Brant Hurter dominates and Luke Gold slams

This was a good night for a pair of pitchers struggling a bit to adapt to the Triple-A level. Brant Hurter put together his best outing yet for the Mud Hens and Justice Bigbie led the offense.

Jace Jung doubled with two outs in the first and was stranded, but the Hens came right back the next two innings to build a lead.

In the bottom of the second, Bligh Madris doubled with one out and scored on a triple by Bigbie. Dillon Dingler’s sacrifice fly score Bigbie and it was 2-0. In the third, Gio Urshela, in his first rehab appearance, drew a walk and Jung followed with a walk as well.
