Defs rally, beat the B-Mets on John Bowker's 13th HR

of the season in the top of the ninth. Connecticut jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second only to give up 5 runs in the bottom half of the inning. The Defenders tied it up in the sixth to set the stage for Bowker's homer.
The top of the order was cooking tonight as leadoff hitter Eugenio Velez went 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs. Trey Webb, in the two hole, knocks in a couple of runs with a single and a sac fly. And Bowker's homer accounts for the other run as the first three hitters in the lineup produce all six runs. Tyler Von Schell and Alex Requena get two hits apiece.
Osiris Matos picks up the victory in relief to improve to 3-0.

Misc fan note: In a week and 8 games Tyler Von Schell sure has done a lot: .367 avg. ( 11 for 30), 8 runs, two doubles, 3 homers and 9 RBIs. Is he the spark?
