Defenders double up RockCats 6-3 today.

Chris Begg improves to 7 and 9 with 7 solid innings. Randy Walter get three hits and scores three runs and Nate Schierholtz knocks in three with a pair of singles. Brian Horwitz knocks in another run and Brian Buscher has a sac fly. Pat Misch worked a scoreless 8th inning getting in some work with the All-Star Game break this week and Joe Bateman notches his eighth save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
Defs ran wild on the base paths as the RockCats had to use their emergency catcher who usually plays as an infielder. Nate had a couple of swipes, one on the backend of a double steal of third with D-Mac. Defs have now won 10 of 15 with one game left before the All-Star break.
Misc Fan notes: Cap day from the good folks from Foxwoods. First Defenders cap for me--nice one. Smallish and quiet crowd for a Sunday. Dunk tank going on with the front office folks taking turns. Bobblehead promo #4 Monday night! Busy day for me. Friend at the park and other stuff going on after the game so I didn't take the usual numbers of pics but did catch Jake throwing over to first--see pic.
