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....

SeaDogs win 6-4 today at Dodd....



sorry for the delay but I wanted as many folks logging on to read Joe's article about the relocation of the team and the shameful actions of the Eastern League's President Joe McEacharn.
Daryl Maday had his worst outing of the season as he couldn't get going in the first inning as the SeaDogs first five batter all reached base for a quick 3-0 lead.
Connectucut tied the game in the bottom of the third on Brett Pill's long (into the trees) three runner. It was Pill's third homer of the season. His hot hitting continued the rest of the game as he went 3 for 4 on the day. Over his last ten games, Pill is batting .371 (13 for 35) with two homers and 15 RBIs. He was the only Defender with a more than one hit.
Maday meanwhile settled down some, but ran in trouble again in the 5th giving up a pair of runs on RBI hits by Lars Anderson and Aaron Bates to make it 5-3.
Connecticut made it 5-4 in the bottom of the 8th on a Tyler LaTorre RBI ground out but Portland came right back in the top of the 9th with two out Jon Still solo homer off Brooks McNiven to close it out at 6-4.
Maday went 4.1 IP giving up 5 runs on 7 hits with three BBs and three Ks. His record fall to 2-2 with a 3.99 ERA.

Misc fan notes: Another nice crowd on hand 4000+ as hondo had the right attendance guess again for a least the third straight game. Check out the Voodo Grill--pretty good tacos.
The RockCats, who play in a city located in central Connecticut, come in for a four game set starting Monday.
