The Hens jumped out to an early lead on Thursday, but a late rally from the Red Wings sank their chances.
Justyn-Henry Malloy got the night off, but the Hens’ patience team wide paid off right out of the gate in this one. With one out, Parker Meadows walked and then scored on a hit and run when Tyler Nevin singled to center field. Grant Witherspoon walked and then Andre Lipcius flew out, moving Nevin to third after tagging up. Donny Sands came up with a big knock, doubled in Nevin, and Corey Joyce followed with a double of his own to score Witherspoon and Sands.
