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....

I was kind of hoping the Defs would play the...




completion of the suspended game from Portland wearing their road uniforms tonight at Dodd for "Game 1" of tonight's DH but that didn't happen. The game was picked up in the bottom of the fourth with the SeaDogs having the bases loaded and two outs and leading 2-1. Paul Osegura came on to pitch in relief for the since departed Brooks McNiven. Paul got the final out of the inning as the SeaDogs were the "home" team for game 1.
The Defs broke the game open in the top of the 7th as Ryan Rohlinger lead off hitting a booming double off the fence in deep left center. Dave Maroul then singled Rohlinger in to tie the game. Maroul advanced to second on the pitcher's error trying to pick him off. AR singled to shallow right field to put runners on the corners. Kyle Haines broke the tie with a sac fly scoring Maroul. Olmo then came up and blasted a triple to right field bring in AR to make the score 4-2. Carlos Sosa then plated Olmo with a sac fly of his own for a 5-2 lead. Nice to see some productive outs!
CT plated a couple of insurance runs in the top of the ninth on a Pablo Sandoval RBI single and a wild pitch.
Osgura (2-2) picks up the win throwing 3.1 IP of ine hit ball. Jason Waddell gets his first save pitching the last two innings and getting 4 Ks.
The "beginning" of the game was delayed about by rain by about 90 minutes and Game 2 started at 9:00. I caught the first couple off innings and left with no score. The radio is telling me they're in another rain delay in the fourth with still no score.

Misc fan notes: Good seeing lc and hoping hondo is having a good time at the HCC.
Pics from top to bottom: Osegura, the cheeseburger toss, and our "away" victory.
