Big Innings…The BlueClaws have allowed four-plus runs in an inning 13 times this season (most of any team in the league), in 11 different games over which they are 1-10 (they gave up two such innings on Tuesday against Hudson Valley)…Their lone win in a game in which they allowed four runs in an inning was game two of the 4/12 double- header against Aberdeen, an 8-7 come-from-behind win (Eduardo Lopez go-ahead home run in the 5th of the seven inning game)…They have allowed at least four runs in an inning in five of their last eight games, and lost all five…Six of the 11 innings have included multiple walks…By comparison, Hudson Valley has two such innings this season and Asheville has 10 (second most in the league) in which they’ve allowed four or more runs. - Greg Giombarrese - Vice President - Communications - Jersey Shore BlueClaws
