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....

Defs win 3-2 this afternoon and split with the BaySox...

and given the BS they went thru that's pretty good and they actually increase their division lead to 9 games.
Shane Kaufman, who started this week in Augusta, ends up winning both of CT's wins over the BaySox. Kaufman pitched the final two innings to earn the win as the Defs scored a run in the top of the 9th (thanks God the game didn't go extra innings)to make for a happy bus ride home.
EME, who hit a solo homer, his sixth of the season lead off the 9th and went to second on the third baseman's throwing error. Mike McBryde went in to run for him and the mov paid off as Brandon Crawford (2 for 3, double) singled Mike in for the game winner.
Jesse English started and went 5 IP. He was bailed out in the first as Crawford threw out a runner at home off a relay from outfielder Brad Boyer to keep the score at 1-1. Brett Pill had a RBI (#75) ground out to give CT a 1-0 early.

Misc fan notes: Back at Dodd Friday!

Winning the finale and splitting the series was damn gutsy. Kudos to the team and staff for hanging in.
