During his time in Toledo, third baseman Mike Hessman amassed more home runs than any other player in Mud Hens history. Today, the Bisons slugger hit two more against his former team. Hessman homered twice; including a walk off solo shot in the tenth inning in an 8-7 come from behind win against the Mud Hens.
Hessman started off the game just how he ended it, with a home run. In his first at bat in the second inning he took a 1-1 offering from Mud Hens starting pitcher Ruddy Lugo to center field to cut the Mud Hens lead to 2-1.
The Herd had a productive third inning to get their offense rolling. Trailing 3-1, centerfielder Emmanuel Garcia hit a single with two outs to extend the inning. Garcia was then driven in by the next batter, right fielder Jesus Feliciano. Following Feliciano second baseman Russ Adams hit a two run home run when he took the first pitch of the at bat and sent it over the left field wall to give the Herd a 4-3 lead.
BISONS NOTES: Right fielder Jesus Feliciano added to his league leading batting average by going 2-5 on the day to bring it up to .366 for the season. In the second inning Feliciano also recorded his sixth outfield assist of the season when he threw out Mud Hens designated hitter Max Leon at home to end the inning. His six outfield assists are second in the league to Gregor Blacno of the Gwinnett Braves who has seven.
