MUD HENS NOTES

Splitting the series: The Toledo Mud Hens split last week's series against the Columbus Clippers at 3-3. The Hens fell down 0-2 to begin the week on Tuesday (7-6/10) and Wednesday (14-8). Toledo then ripped off three straight wins on Thursday (7-3), Friday (6-4) and Saturday (3-1) to move ahead in the series 3-2. The Hens fell on Sunday (5-3) after a late-inning gut punch, leading to a 3-3 split in the first Ohio battle of the year.

Stifling Sammons: Pitcher Bryan Sammons has been electric lately, winning each of his last four outings on the mound. Sammons' four wins leads the Mud Hens pitching staff, paired with a 3.54 ERA, 10 walks, and 25 strikeouts. Sammons joined the Mud Hens midway through last summer and has impressed in the early goings of his first full season with Toledo.

Mashing Malloy: Outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy has been tearing the cover off of the ball as of late. Malloy now has the highest hit streak of the season with a nine-game hitting streak. Over his current stretch, Malloy is hitting 14-35 with one home run, seven doubles, and seven RBI. Malloy has also walked three times and scored five runs.

Coming home: The Toledo Mud Hens return to Fifth Third Field to welcome the St. Paul Saints into the Glass City for a six-game series. The series kicks off on Tuesday night (6:05), followed by a Wednesday morning (11:05 a.m.) game for School Education Day.
