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....

Defenders bats as cold as the temp tonight as


Trenton beats Connecticut 7-1 up at Dodd. Jesse Floyd was knocked out by the fourth and the Defenders were only able to manage four hits. Eddy's hitting streak ended at thirteen games. Reliever Mike Musgrave was the lone bright spot with three plus inning of scoreless pitching.
Misc. Fan notes. Derin McMains flirted with being tossed on a called third strike to end a budding rally. DMac threw the bat, helmet and gloves in protest of a ball that was clearly a ball. With Floyd pitching tonight and Aaron Sisk geting into the game in the ninth I now have pictures of all Defenders so far this year.
Nice crowd for a cold one up at the park. School is out this week and the Yankee farm team is in so that helps but I think it's a good sign for the coming months. One good thing about the cold weather is a lot of fans have bought themselves a Defenders hooded sweatshirt from Cutter's Corner, the giftshop. A bunch of them being worn around the park the last couple of games.
Quick conversion with owner Lou DiBella about setting up an interview for this modest blog effort.
Readers note: First thanks for the growing number of "hits." I won't be at the game Saturday, it might rain anyway, but I will be there Sunday.
