Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Afternoon Delight...get out the broom, as


the Defenders defeat the FisherCats 2-0 to complete a three game sweep of New Hampshire this afternoon. Chris Begg (2-0) turned in his second straight piching gem going 7 inning and giving up just two hits. R.D. Spiehs gave up a hit in his inning and two thirds and Jason Waddell got the ever fearsome Chip Cannon, who was the tying run at the plate for the final out and his first save of the young season.
Again another low scoring, tidy game that came in just under two hours. All the scoring came in the bottom of the third. Randy Walter doubled, Clay Timpner walked and Derin McMains singled to score Walters and Timpner came in on the right fielders throwing error into the infield. Defenders record goes to 5-1 and they hit the road starting in Trenton Thursday for three games each against the Thunder and Reading Phillies.
Misc. Fan notes: Thanks for the ticket Strat! Baseball Bingo at the park today from the good folks at Foxwoods. Strat and I each had about 5 cards each and neither one of us came close to a bingo. No one else did either and the grand prize of a skybox for a day for you and 23 of your frieds went unclaimed. No Aaron Sisk sighting today. I think the Defender bats are really going to wake up on the road; especially in Trenton.
