4/12 Game Review

Louisville  lost 8-1. Box Score

• Chris Valaika went 1-4 with an RBI.
• Danny Dorn went 0-2 with 2 walks.
• Josh Judy struck out 5 and walked 2 in 2 shutout innings.
• Nick Christiani threw 2 shutout innings.
• JJ Hoover struck out 3 with a walk in a hitless inning of work.

Game notes

The Mud Hens had three pitchers in the game and each only allowed one hit. The Bats line up is struggling. Of their first six hitters in the line up, only Chris Valaika was hitting over .222 after the game (.333). The Bats open up at home tonight, maybe they can turn things around with some home cooking.
