BlueClaws

Sunday, June 29th the talented performers of TNA Impact Wrestling are slated to invade Lakewood's FirstEnergy Park for the venue's first ever BaseBrawl event.

It didn't take long for Cody Asche to knock any rust off.  After missing three weeks with a hamstring strain, the Phillies' third baseman began a rehab stint with the organization's Class A affiliate, the Lakewood BlueClaws, slamming two home runs in his first of three rehab games on Friday night.

For Class A Lakewood BlueClaws second baseman Andrew Pullin a determined grind has helped turn around a season that started out in regrettable fashion.

Eight BlueClaws had hits, and seven had multi-hit games as the BlueClaws pounded out 15 hits in an 8-3 win over Rome on Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Park, their 3rd straight win.

Danny Hayes with 3-4 including a first inning home run in leading Kannapolis to a 10-1 win over the BlueClaws on Wednesday night at FirstEnergy Park in the opener of a three-game series.

Wins have been hard to come by for the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws this season, but every fifth day, when their ace is on the mound, the team appears to have excellent chances at notching a victory.

Savannah used a five-run seventh inning to pull away from the BlueClaws and the Sand Gnats topped the BlueClaws 10-3 on Thursday night at FirstEnergy Park.

Charleston pounded out 18 hits, led by four from Abiatal Avelino and home runs from Mike Ford and Michael O'Neill as the RiverDogs topped the BlueClaws 9-3 on Wednesday afternoon at FirstEnergy Park.

Charleston scored three times in the ninth inning and topped the BlueClaws 4-1 on Monday night in the first game of a week-long BlueClaws homestand. The BlueClaws dropped their fourth straight game in the process.

An early Lakewood lead did not hold up as Hagerstown completed a three-game sweep of the BlueClaws with an 11-6 win on Saturday.

Hagerstown quickly erased an early 4-0 deficit and came back to top the BlueClaws 10-8 on Friday night at Municipal Stadium. With the win, the Suns have now taken all six meetings from the BlueClaws this year.

The BlueClaws jumped out to a 3-0 lead and held off a Greensboro rally, defeating the Grasshoppers 3-2 on Wednesday night at FirstEnergy Park for their second straight win.
