A game that was 2-2 through the first nine innings saw both offenses explode for six runs in the tenth inning.  Unfortunately for the Bats, they gave up four of those six runs and only scored two so they took a 6-4 loss to Buffalo.  Juan Francisco went three for five with a two run home run.  Wilkin Castillo went two for five with a double and an RBI.

Jon Adkins took the loss and he fell to 0-1.  He gave up three of those four tenth inning runs.  Travis Wood had a solid start and he gave up two runs on six hits with five strikeouts in six innings.

The Bats didn’t get much from their hitters last night as they fell to the Hens 4-1.  Chris Valaika two for three with a triple and he scored the lone run.  Corky Miller went two for three.

Travis Wood took the loss and he fell to 0-3.  He gave up four runs on nine hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings.  Three of the nine hits he gave up left the building.

This was a wild one.  Travis Wood gave up a pair of runs in the second inning and that’s all either team scored until the Mudcats tied it up with two in the seventh.  Then three in the eighth by Carolina appeared to put this one out of reach but Lookouts stormed back and scored four in the fourth to sneak away with a win.  Speaking of Travis Wood, he threw seven solid frames in his no-decision.  He gave up two runs on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts.  Sean Watson gave up the four eighth inning runs and he fell to 1-4 on the season.

Sean Henry went two for four with a two run home run.  Todd Frazier also pitched in with a two run blast of his own.

The Mudcats scored first to seal the win a 1-0 ten inning win over the Smokies.  Juan Francisco belted a walk off, tenth inning homer in the bottom of the eleventh to win it.

Travis Wood threw six shutout innings in his start.  Ramon Geronimo struck out two in two shutout innings and he improved to 2-1 on the season.

Zero runs and just five hits does not a win make.  All five of the Mudcats hits were singles and only one hitter, leadoff hitter Sean Henry, had a multi-hit game with two safeties in the 2-0 loss.

A decent start by Travis Wood went to waste.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts.
