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....

Out at home! Mike Mooney's outfield assist


throwing out the potential tying run at home to end the game in the bottom of the 9th preserves CT's 3-2 win in Trenton tonight. Mooney also got the job done with the bat doubling home the Defs first run in the third inning.
Mooney's throw made a winner of starter Henry Sosa (1-0). Sosa threw 5 innings giving up 5 hits and two earned runs. Waldis Joaquin relieved Sosa and had his best outing of the season throwing 3 innings of no hit ball before giving way to Dan Otero (save #4) and the ninth innings heroics of Mooney.
Connecticut won the game in the top of the fourth with a pair of runs. With no outs CT loaded the bases on a walk and singles by Sharlon Schoop and a bunt single by AR. A passed ball tied the game at 2-2 and Brad Boyer's ground out put CT in the lead 3-2.
Ct managed just seven hits in the game and had three runners caught stealing along with a runner picked off.
