Bumgarner throws a six inning one hitter with...

9Ks and Joe Paterson and Dan Othero maintain their zero ERAs as CT won yesterday's suspended game 1-0 to briefly put the Defenders in first place today. Bumgarner was sharp, working quickly and getting ahead in the counts winning his second game in as many appearances. He ended allowing that one hit, a hard double, to the first batter he saw and issuing 3 walks. He also picked off one runner. Bumgarner also threw a lot of fly ball outs as NH batters had some nice cuts on the day as well. I'd like to think he was "using" Dodd.
Joe Paterson pitched the 8th inning and recorded the first out of the 9th before giving way to closer Dan Otero who gave up a two out double before closing the door on the FisherCats for his 9th save.
So EME's fog shrouded RBI double from yesterdays held up, as the game winning hit. Brock Bond and Tyler Latorre both had two hit games
In Game two CT was forced to go with a spot start from Dan Griffin (1-3). Dan didn't make it out the the first inning getting just one out and allowing five runs to come in on 5 hits and a pair of walks. Mike Musgrave put out the fire in the first but gave up three runs of his own as the FisherCats were up 8-0 after a inning and a half. Brock Bond (another two hit game, now batting .326) and Brett Pill (king of the doubles) drove in both of CT's runs for the final score of 8-2 FisherCats. CT is a half game out of first place.
