Four Mudcats pitchers combined to allow only three hits. He walked 8 in his 5 innings that's why he was taken out, probably had thrown a lot of pitches notes on Trevor Hutchinson from gomucats.com Manager Ron Hassey announced before the game that RHP Trevor Hutchinson will be skipped from his scheduled Tuesday start against the Smokies after undergoing a Friday MRI on his right elbow. Initial tests show the results normal, however Hutchinson is expected to fly to Miami to rehab and return to Carolina when recovered. This may have contributed to his recent struggles.
