The Mud Hens fought off a little push in the middle innings and then stormed to victory on Tuesday night.
They gave starter Jack O’Loughlin a bit of a lead in the first when Parker Meadows opened the game with a single, stole second base, and scored on a two-out Tyler Nevin single. O’Loughlin had it from there, spinning five shutout innings and allowing just one hit while striking out eight.
A rehabbing Will Vest allowed two runs in the sixth, and that put the Hens down a run, but the offense turned on the jets at that point.
