Greg Mullens dropped his first start of the season and while he wasn’t fantastic, he also wasn’t horrible.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk with one strikeout in 6 2/3 innings.  It’s only the first time he’s been tagged with three earned runs and while he hasn’t struck out a ton of guys (12 in 33 2/3 innings), he’s held opposing hitters to a .213 batting average.  He’s helped himself out by not giving up a homerun yet this year. 

Joe Holden drove in the only run of the game for the Sand Gnats in the 5-1 loss.  Hector Pellot was the only Sand Gnat with two hits.
