PAWTUCKET, R.I. - Through rain and a one hour and two-minute rain delay, the Toledo Mud Hens (56-68) took game two of this three-game series with the Pawtucket Red Sox (53-70) by a 5-1 final.
Toledo scored quickly in the first inning. Jacob Robson singled on the third pitch of the game. He stole his league-leading 24th base on the first pitch to the next batter Christin Stewart. Three pitches later, Stewart lined a single to right field that scored Robson.
The Mud Hens plated a pair in the fourth inning thanks to a two-run home run from Willi Castro to make it 3-0.
The PawSox got on the board in the fifth inning. After he opened the scoring last night, Jantzen Witte did so again tonight. His single to left field brought Tzu-Wei Lin home to make it 3-1.
Over his last 11 games, Witte has gone .361 (13-for-36) with three doubles, two home runs, and six RBI's.
The game went into a one hour and two-minute rain delay after the conclusion of the top of the seventh inning.
In the top of the eighth, Frank Schwindel belted a solo home run to make it 4-1. The homer was Schwindel's sixth in just 14 games with Toledo.
They added another when Kade Scivicque drove in a run with his third hit of the game.
