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....

Shades of the '07 All-Star Game as the fog....







rolled into Dodd tonight. The FisherCats and Defs were able to finish the suspended game with CT winning on Brad Boyer's walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th. Boyer hits the first pitch he saw for his first homer of the season. The home run made a winner out of Ben Snyder who pitched four innings of one hit ball to even his record at 1-1. I walked into Dodd just as Boyer went yard.
In game two Tim Alderson gave up a pair of two singles before getting his second K of the inning. With the fog rolling in Brandon Crawford single and was forced at second by Brett Pill. EME then hit one into the right center gap that neither outfielder was able to pick up and Pill came in to score as EME ended up at second. After Bobby Felmy was retired for the third out the umps called a delay that turned into the game being suspended after 45 minutes or so with the fog getting worse and worse. Really, it was foggy up on the concourse looking down from one end to another.
So we pick up this game Sunday at 12:05 with the full 9 innings being played and then the teams play a 7 innings game.

Misc notes: Madison Bumgarner will finish game one and who knows who for game two. There is a scheduled day off on Monday. Stinks that Alderson is wasted tonight.
When is better weather coming? Hope it's Sunday.

from what the radio commentators said, in the first inning, you could not see NH outfielders at all from where they were.
