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....

Defs win 3-2 over Thunder....



Jesse Floyd gets his first EL win after giving up a couple of solo HRs in the first two innings. Brian Buscher's two run single tied it after a Thunder error extended the fouth inning and a Nate Schierholtz ground ball DP scored the winner as the Defs rallied for the second straight game. Jonathan Sanchez was great in relief and Billy Salder gets the save with a perfect ninth.
The big fun was in the sixth when Thunder player Shelly Duncan struck out and got into it big time with the home plate ump. Duncan said something to the ump fter the K and headed back to the dugout and the ump followed him and they got into it some more when Duncan getting tossed. The home plate ump walked away as the other two umps held Duncan back. Duncan tried to charge the ump again and a couple of Thunder coaches had to hold him back.
As that was calming down Defenders manger Dave Mac got into it with the third base ump over something but didn't get tossed.
Anyway the Defs take three of four from the Thunder and head north to play the B-Mets in a three game set.
