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 a laughter 8-0 over the Aeros...

tonight at Dodd. Connecticut loaded the bases after two outs in the first inning as Olmo singled, Eliezer Alfonzo was HBP and Adam Witter walked. Simon Klink singled in a pair of runs and Carlos Sosa followed with a RBI single to make it 3-0. The Defenders scored three times again in the bottom of the second via an Akron error, an Alfonzo single and a Witter double. Witter would double in another run the fourth and Olmo wrapped up the scoring with a solo homer, #9 for him on the season.
Garret Broshuis goes 6 IP allowing three hits and notching 7 Ks to improve to 13-8 witha 3.68 ERA. Adam Cowart (Happy Birthday), Nate Bump and Kelvin Pichardo throw an inning each of scoreless ball to preserve the shutout.


Misc fan notes: Good to be back at Dodd! Good sized crowd on hand thanks in part to the NL Day sticker giveaway of a pair of free tickets. Long lines in front of the ticket windows for voucher exchange. Announced crowd was 3900+ (hondo with the right guess).
Good to see old friend Andy Pappas on the concourse tonight as I was leaving.
