Game 2: W, 4-3 vs. Columbus. Trevor Bauer dominated the Mud Hens for most of the afternoon, but one could argue that Shawn Hill was even better. Columbus lead for most of the game, but John Lindsey hit a walk-off 2R HR to win it for Toledo.

A+ Lakeland Flying Tigers (4-11)

L, 3-1 vs. Dunedin. Lakeland was shut down by former Central Michigan University ace Jesse Hernandez, and wasted a solid performance by their pitching staff, including Jose Valverde. Only relative unknown Tyler Hanover had more than 1 hit for Lakeland, whose offense continues to struggle mightily.

A West Michigan Whitecaps (6-5)

The Whitecaps were rained out, again. Actually, as I was corrected on twitter by LHP Jordan John, the Whitecaps were actually snowed out.
