Shirokata, Mud Hens March to 10-4 Victory
A good performance from second baseman Chris Shirokata helped the Toledo Mud Hens defeat the Columbus Clippers, 10-4. Shirokata was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Mud Hens. Spike Kimball earned the win, while 28-year old right-handed pitcher Mauro Salazar took the loss for Columbus. Toledo now has a record of 60-33 with the win.

Mike Walker had a big 2-run double for the Mud Hens in the bottom of the third inning. With Toledo leading 3-1 and the bases loaded, he got a slider from Mauro Salazar and swatted a double to left. It was his 4th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mud Hens ahead, 5-1.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Toledo manager Yusmeiro Petit.
