Game 8...Mudcats Beat Linden; Win Fourth in a Row (6/21)

Brian Caine fires one home

The Michigan Mudcats lived on the dangerous side of things in the early going Friday night against the Linden Eagles. By the end of the evening though, they came home victorious for the fourth consecutive game.

Linden had nine runners reach base in the first four innings but failed to score, stranding seven of those runners in scoring position as pitchers Brian Caine and Max Eaton worked in and out of trouble..

The Mudcat bats were strangely silent early on as a double by Noah Trieloff and a fly out by Jack Scribner were the only balls they managed to get out of the infield in the first three innings. The bats finally woke up though with three runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth.

Linden scored one run late, but that was all they could manage as the Mudcats took home the win by a score of 6-1. It was their fourth consecutive win and pushed their record to 5-3 (4-1 in league games).
