It took them three games, but the Mud Hens finally picked up their first win of the season in a 14-2 blowout win over the Bats.  Mike Hessman was a perfect five for five and he scored three times while Chris Shelton and Timo Perez both homered.  Ramon Santiago and Brent Clevlen both drove in three runs as everyone was a hitting star.

Dennis Tankersley picked up the win with five solid innings.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts.  Preston Larrison had a tough time on the mound.  He gave up two hits and four walks in 2 1/3 but oddly, all of those walks didn’t come back to haunt him as he didn’t give up a run.
