Indy scored early, and the Hens couldn’t muster much of a threat to overtake them until late in the game on Thursday.
In a bullpen game, Jordan Balazovic allowed a run in the second, and Drew Sommers gave up two more in relief in the third. Matt Manning settled things down with a clean fifth, and RJ Petit spun a pair of perfect frames with two strikeouts to keep the Indians in check.
Finally, after just two hits in the first five innings, the Hens got things going in the top of the sixth. Akil Baddoo led off with a single and Hao-Yu Lee hammered a triple into the right field corner to score him.
