Lakeland Flying Tigers play another extra innings game, lose

Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box)

Shane Greene was pulled early from his start which led to the Mud Hens having to pitch many innings in relief. They weren't up to the task, with Jose Valdez and Guido Knudson giving up two runs apiece. Trayvon Robinson, Bryan Holaday, and Daniel Fields all had three hits in the loss.

Altoona Curve 4, Erie SeaWolves 2 (F/7)

Altoona Curve 11, Erie SeaWolves 3 (F/7)

The other half of Erie's doubleheader was a rough one, with Austin Kubitza getting left in as a sacrificial lamb while Altoona teed off. Joe Mantiply finally came to the rescue, but it was a dismal day for the AA affiliate.

Clearwater Threshers 5, Lakeland Flying Tigers 4 (F/10)

Another day, another extra-inning game for Lakeland.

Locke St. John melted down in the fifth after pitching strong early.
