LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville Bats (8-10) dropped the middle game of a three-game series and had their three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday night, losing to the Toledo Mud Hens (14-6) by a 6-5 score.
The Bats struck first, scoring five runs in the top of the fourth inning to take a 5-0 lead. Steve Selsky clubbed an RBI double, followed by a Stuart Turner RBI single and Blake Trahan double that set up a pass ball and a sacrifice fly to make it a 4-0 game.

Lopez went 5.0 innings, giving up four earned runs on eight hits and one home run, walking none and striking out five.

The Bats and Mud Hens are back at it for the series finale tomorrow with left-hander Justin Nicolino (1-1, 3.00) set to start for Louisville. The Bats return home on Monday for a three-game series with the Columbus Clippers.
