MUD HENS NOTES

Split the series: The Toledo Mud Hens split a six-game series with the Columbus Clippers over the past week. The visiting team won each half of the home-and-home slate. The Clippers took the odd games (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) while the Mud Hens took the even games (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). The Hens used some late-game heroics from Ryan Vilade, Andrew Navigato and Bligh Madris to propel themselves into a split in Columbus. Toledo has a record of 6-6 in the second half.

A Grand winner: Outfielder Ryan Vilade clubbed a late grand slam in the top of the ninth inning on Thursday, propelling the Mud Hens to a come-from-behind 5-3 win. Vilade's slam saved Ty Madden from a loss and allowed the Mud Hens to even the series at 2-2 after Devin Sweet slammed the door.

An extra-thrilling win: The Mud Hens took the series finale on Saturday in extra innings. Andrew Navigato broke the 3-3 tie with a two-run single in the tenth inning. After Columbus tied the game again, a walk and a pair of hit-by-pitches of Dillon Dingler and Bligh Madris scored the eventual game-winning run. The 6-5 win in eleven innings netted a series split between the two teams.

On the road again: The Toledo Mud Hens will remain away from home, as the Hens head west to do battle with the Omaha Storm Chasers. The Hens play a trio of 8:05 p.m. starts (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) with 7:05 p.m. and 6:05 p.m. starts on Saturday and Sunday respectively. The Hens also play an afternoon game on Wednesday, beginning at 1:05 p.m.
