Walk-off home run wins it for Mud hens

Unlikely hero John Lindsey hits wins it for Mud Hens with walk-off home run. Lindsey’s three extra-bases hits — which matches his number of total hits before Friday — helped the Hens to wins of 3-1 and 4-3. The first game picked up in the top of the fifth from Thursday’s rain-suspended contest. The night cap was scheduled to go seven innings, went nine, and might have gone longer without Lindsey’s first bomb of the year, a two-run blast off reliever Preston Guilmet. It came after Columbus tacked on a run in the top of the frame, its third time scoring with two outs.
