Seven-run inning helps Wingnuts beat AirHogs
The Wingnuts scored seven runs in the fifth inning Thursday night to beat the Texas AirHogs 10-2 in an American Association game in Amarillo, Texas. The win, which came in eight innings when a rain storm ended the game early, was the Wingnuts’ fourth in a row on their road trip.
Two AirHogs pitchers combined to give up four walks and their defense committed and error in the inning.
Already ahead 2-1, Christian Stringer singled to start the fifth inning. Zack Cox reached on an error, then Brent Clevlen loaded the bases with a single.
T.J. Mittelstaedt and Martin Medina walked to bring home two runs, then after a pitching change, Dustin Geiger walked in a run, too.
Richard Prigatano drove in two runs with a single, then Harrison Kain brought home two more with a single. In all, 12 Wingnuts batted in the inning.
