Toledo Mud Hens 9, Nashville Sounds 6 (box)
The Hens have come out mashing. After scoring eight runs in the opener, they went one better on Wednesday night to make it 2-0 on the year.
Veteran right-hander Drew Hutchison got the start, and he quickly took a little damage, giving up a two run double to the Sounds’ Zach Green. The Hens struck right back in the bottom of the second though. Derek Hill cracked a three-run shot with Christin Stewart and Dustin Garneau aboard, and then the Hens proceeded to score again in the third and fourth frames to take a 6-3 lead into the late innings.

Democracy is fundamentally about advocacy: the people are free to
advocate for their interests and form groups to represent their shared interests. In the broadest scope, the people are free to advocate for what they hold as the
common good, policies and programs that benefit the entire populace rather than one special-interest group.
Since the state (all levels of government) concentrates wealth and power via taxation and a monopoly on force, groups advocate/lobby the state to recognize and respond to their interests. At the local level, this advocacy entails contacting city council members, speaking at council meetings, developing outreach tools (email lists, website, etc.), holding rallies at city hall, etc.
