The Hens powered up in the middle innings to sink the Clippers on Tuesday. Three straight singles started off the bottom of the third inning, with Jacob Robson’s bunt single scoring Cole Peterson. However, Derek Hill was gunned down trying to steal home, and Robson was caught then trying to take second, and it looked like they’d run themselves out of what should have been a big inning. That impression was confirmed when Isaac Paredes then launched a solo shot to left.
The Hens had plenty more to offer, however. Aderlin Rodriguez hit his 12th homer of the year in the fourth inning.
