Woody Hadeen slams as Lakeland sweeps Palm Beach

Toledo Mud Hens 7, Worcester Red Sox 3 boxA late burst of offense helped the Mud Hens overcome a rough relief outing by Matt Manning as they took this series four games to two on Sunday. Matt Vierling joined Manuel Margot, along with John Brebbia in the bullpen, in the Detroit Tigers rehab program. Vierling walked twice and struck out once in his first ABs since the beginning of spring Dietrich Enns got the start over Manning, and so perhaps this finally the start of a full conversion to relief for the 201first rounder. Enns was very good once again, tossing five innings of one run Serven got the Hens an early lead with his first home run of the season in the third inning. Andrew Navigato added a solo shot of his own in the fifth, and it was 20 allowed a run in the fifth on a trio of twoout singles before departing. Manning took over in the sixth and was greeted by a Marcelo Mayer single. A pickoff attempt went wild and was compounded by first baseman Bligh Madris collecting the ball and then throwing it away again. Mayer scored, and it was the seventh, Ryan Kreidler led off with a triple and scored on a Navigato sacrifice fly. Manning allowed a oneout walk in the bottom of the seventh and then hit Phillip Sikes. A Roman Anthony grounded forced Sikes at second, but Anthony stole second and Nick Sogard singled in the lead runner before Manning gave way to PJ Poulin. The lefty struck out Mayer to strand two, and it was a tie game again, this time a 33 in the eighth the Mud Hens offense seized control and Carlos Mendoza was the spark. Pinchhitting for Vierling in the eighth, Mendoza led off with a walk and then stole second base. Manuel Margot reached on an infield single and after a Brewer Hicklen fly out, Akil Baddoo ripped a single to right field that was too sharp to score on. The bases were juiced as the Red Sox went back to their bullpen. Madris greeted new reliever Isaiah Campbell with a tworun single, and Kreider followed with his second triple of the game. That made it 73, and Poulin and Matt Gage had no trouble closing this one : 23, R, 2 RBI, 2 3B, BB, KNavigato: 13, R, 2 RBI, HRMargot: 25, REnns: 5.0 IP, ER, 5 H, BB, 3 KComing Up Next: The Hens come home to welcome in the Iowa Cubs on Tuesday night at 6:05 p.m. SeaWolves 1, Binghamton Rumble Ponies 0 Gm1F7boxThe SeaWolves secured at least a series split with a strong effort on the pitching and defensive side of the game. Joseph Montalvo nohit the Ponies for five innings before Austin Bergner came on for a sixout , the offense was having a ton of trouble with righthander Jonah Tong. Tong struck out eight in four innings of work, and the SeaWolves struggled with him, but finally in the fifth inning they broke Serretti led off with a single, and Jim Jarvis followed with a grounder to second that went for an error. Max Anderson slapped a ground ball back up the middle, and Serretti scored the only run of the took over with the onerun lead and quickly allowed a leadoff single in the sixth. He then picked off the runner and wrapped up the inning with just a walk allowed. He walked the leadoff man in the seventh inning as well, but a ground out Justyn-Henry Malloy Jersey, and then a gameending line drive off the bat of Travis Swaggerty was converted into a double play by Max Anderson to finish this : 23Anderson: 13, RBI, 2 KMontalvo W, 20: 5.0 IP, 0 R, 0 H, BB, 2 KBinghamton Rumble Ponies 6, Erie SeaWolves 4 Gm2F7boxA good outing for Troy Melton came to a crashing halt in the fifth inning of this one, and the bullpen crumbled even further as the SeaWolves squandered an early wasnt real sharp early, but he was able to pitch through a bit of traffic in the second and the fourth.
