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....

B-Mets rally with 4 in the eigth and beat Defs 12-10

in another seesaw after in New York. Connecticut jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the second only to see the Mets explode for 8 runs in the third. The Defs chipped away taking a 10-8 lead only to lose the game.
Eugenio Velez went 4 for 5. Tyler Von Schell (hot, hot, hot) scored three runs, went 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs two of them on his fourth homer in nine games. John Bowker 2-4 with 2 RBIs, Alex Requena 2-5 with 2 RBIs (second good game in a row) were the other hitting stars. Dayton Buller picked up his first EL hit since coming aboard.
Geno Espineli gave up the eight runs in the third, five were earned as the Connecticut defense committed 4 errors plus a run scoring passed ball in the game. Taylor Wilding ended up taking the loss giving up those 4 runs in the Mets eighth.
Wierd move of the game: OF Carlos Sosa pitched to one batter who got on via an error. What was that all about?
Something to watch for: four hitters were HBP, two on both teams. Great schedule making to blame here as these teams are in the middle of playing 11 games against each other from June 30 to July 15. Something's going to give.
