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....

Chris Begg tosses a CG gem, Defenders win 4-1


Nate continues his hot hitting with an opposite field double (he also got a infield single) to open the scoring in the third and extend his hitting streak to 13 games. He lifted a sac fly in the fifth to knock in Begg who had singled of the CF's glove for the second Defender run. Begg's slide was kind of scary as his face caught part of the catcher but he popped up OK. Brian Buscher closed out the scoring in the inning with a two run HR,his seventh of the season.
Meanwhile Begg cruised along giving up two hits over the first 8 innings but gave up three singles and a run in the ninth enroute to improving is record to 12-10.
Misc fan notes: Randy Walter retired. The outfielder was always a fouth outfielder type but carried himself with class. He'll be missed. Good Luck Randy.
Last bobblehead promo of the season tonight. Bernie "Burn baby Burn" Williams bobblehead went off. Smallish crowd on a nice night.
Only eight home games left!!!!
