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 yesterday's game today 1-0 losing

today's game 6-5 in the fourth as the SeaDogs scored 4 times to take a 6-5 lead. In the completion of yesterday's suspended game Connecticut scored in the fourth as walks to Carlos Sosa and Simon Klink and a Dave Maroul single loaded the bases. AR lifted a sac fly to score Sosa.
Ronnie Ray (5-2) picked up the win in relief of last night's starter Joey Martinez throwing 3 IP of two hit ball.
In game two Connecticut scored four runs to take a 4-2. Mike Mooney got his first Defender hit, a double, to lead off the inning. EME then singled off the third base bag to put runners on first and third. Simon Klink doubled to score Mooney. Maroul RBI single scored EME and Ryan Rohlinger hit a long double to plate Klink and Maroul.
In the third Mooney hit his first CT homer down the left field line to make it 5-2 Defender.
But in the top of the fifth the SeaDogs pushed across four runs against GB to take a 6-5 and that's where we stand as I type this.

Misc fan notes: I'll blame myself if they lose Game 2 as they were winning when I left and losing by the time I pulled into the driveway. Speaking of driving, I turned on the game when I left home around 6:00 and the station was playing music and I thought game one was concluded since it was scheduledd to go off at 5:05. Wrong; a rain delay held up the game until 6:45 or so.
Good size crowd on hand for Friday fireworks.

Garret's #'s are almost identical to his last year's totals.

"Weren't" your fault. 5 hits through 2 innings showed GB wasn't at his best and Portland, a good hitting team, caught up with him.
