Portland 3 Connecticut 1 up in Maine tonight...

Geno Espineli takes the loss dropping to 4 Wins and 2 losses on the season. Not much offense again for the Defs as they scratched out just 4 hits in the game. They scored their only run without a hit via a couple of walks, an error and a Todd Jennings sac fly.

And looking at the box score and backing up a point "hondo" made earlier today, the Defs had another runner thrown out tonight as Pat Dobson tried to turn a double into a triple.

Misc fan notes: Caught a bit of the radio pregame tonight. Bob Stanley said Alex Hinshaw will remain on a 75 pitch count next start and is liking what he sees in Espineli this season.

Meaningless personal stats: I've seen 18 games so far this season and I'm 7 up and 11 down. The Curry jersey is 3 up and 5 down and the Montero jersey is 1 and 0.
