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 5-3 and head into the All-Star break winning


11 of the last 16 games and 8 of the last 10. They are only 4 games under .500 and hey, anything is possible now with the other teams ahead of them perhaps shuffling their rosters and the MLBB trading deadline coming into play.
Randy Walter had two RBIs on a groun out and sac fly. Newcomer Quincy Foster (see pic) had the go ahead RBI double and Brian Buscher had the other RBI. Travis Ishikawa went 3 for 4 with an opposite field double and hopefully he can get it going.
Star of the game was Scott Munter who came into the seventh inning with no out after Garrett Broshuis (4-7) had given up four straight hits for two runs to make it a one run game at the time. Munter got three ground ball outs to end the inning. Geno gave in to get a two inning save and the team finishes the homestand 7 and 2.
Misc fan notes: Foster was signed from the indy Atlantic League and played in 2003 with the Harrisburg Senators under Mac. He wears #5 Clay Timpner's old number (now in Triple A Fresno) so it might be so long for Timp the rest of the season. No news on a replacement catcher for Munhall.
Bobblehead #3 tonight got in additional 1000 or so into the seats. Was visiting with friends from the USS Augusta for most of the game who had the typical reaction most folks have when they're there for the first or second time: the place is great why aren't more people here.
