Moon(ey) shots at Dodd tonight in Game 1 as...

the Defs slug five homers (who says you can't homer at Dodd?) enroute to a 14-6 victory over Portland and a doubleheader sweep tonight of the SeaDogs. Connecticut was lead by Mike Mooney playing his third game with CT. Mooney hit a grand slam in the first inning, a two run homer in the fourth and had a RBI double in the sixth for a 7 RBI game. Mooney has three homers in the last two games.
Also joining the homer fest were AR (#4), and Simon Klink (#2, and 3 RBIs in the game) and Dave Maroul (#9) who went back to back in the third inning. Connecticut lead at one point 11-1.
Olmo went 3 for 3 with a double amd Pablo went 2 for 4.
Daryl Maday pick up his firts Double A win as his record stands at 1-1 but with an ERA over eight.
In game two the Defenders rallied from 4-0 to take a 5-4 lead with four runs in the the fifth. The first run of the inning came in on Olmo's third double of the night and Pablo Sandoval hit a three run homer (#7) on a 3-2 count to deep left center as CT took the 5-4 lead. Justin Hedrick (save #8) nails the the win for Kelvin Pichardo (2-4) who relieved starter Adam Cowart.

Misc fan notes: The Mike Lowell booblehead promo was a big hit as fans were in a long line prior to the gates opening at 4:05. First 1000 fans in got one. Mike was wearing a Navs uniform. Another good size crowd on hand.
Good Luck to on-field host Johnny Gill as he joins the Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL. Big jump from Double A minor to the "bigs" of hockey.
