An Andrew Navigato home run was the difference as the Mud Hens got good pitching to win the first of two on Sunday.
Nick Margevicius got the start in this one, and the lefty was pretty solid. He only struck out two, but he blanked the Redbirds for five innings, scattering four hits and a walk.
The Hens offense wasn’t exactly popping off in this one either. A pair of walks and a Hao-Yu Lee single loaded the bases in the bottom of the third, but Brewer Hicklen popped out and Ryan Kreidler struck out to squander the chance.
