Well, Dan Griffin pitched well and other than that..

not much good to say about the Defenders dropping another one to the Thunder by the score of 9-2 this afternoon. Things got off to a bad start in the first as Brandon Crawford's error put Trenton's lead off hitter Austin Krum on second base but it looked like starter Brooks McNiven (1-3) would get out of the inning after Mike McBryde threw Krum out at home on Reegie Corona's single. However Corona would eventually score on Crawford's second error of the inning as Trenton lead 1-0.
Connecticut came back in the bottom half of the first as a Thunder error brought in Brock Bond who had singled and Brett Pill's 65th RBI on a ground out put CT up 2-1 after the first.
The wheels came totally off for McNiven in the second as the Thunder scored six times with two runs coming in on Krum's two run triple and the final two runs of the inning coming in on a long homer to left center off the bat of Jorge Vazquez.
Griffin came on and pitched 3.1 IP of shutout ball with 7 Ks. The bullpen mopped up with Garcia and Joaquin giving up single runs and Otero and Paterson throwing a scoreless inning each. Where's Mike Musgrave?
No offense today as the bats only produced 7 hits; two from EME. Decker emptied the bench with almost everyone getting on the field including AR.

Misc fan notes: great seeing "Brute" back at Dodd sans fog, cold weather, rain delays, floods, hurricanes, etc., etc.
Boyer on the DL with an undisclosed injury.
Hoping for the blue and white uniforms tommorrow morning as the home whites and the camouflage ones haven't worked the last two games.
Good to see Tater in the stands today!!!
