8-2, not the score but the play of the game...

and after seeing games up a Dodd for 15 years probably the best hit a catcher has ever taken by a base runner and of course it came on football night.
Mike McBryde's throw from mid center field on a single cut down Andy Dirks trying to score from second as Jackson Williams took a big hit knocking him over head over heels but hangs onto the ball preserving a 3-2 CT win over Erie.
Geivy Garcia and Brad Boyer were the other story lines in tonight's win. Garcia has found life as a stater all of the sudden. He went 6 IP giving up 6 hits and two runs with 4 Ks. This was his fourth start and he is 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 20 IP.
He didn't get the decision tonight as he departed with the score tied at 2-2. In the bottom of the 7th after Mitch Lively threw a scoreless inning, Brock Bond (1-2, two runs scored, two walks) hit an infield single and Brad Boyer continued his hot streak doubling Bond in from first on a long double to left center. It was Boyer's second RBI of the game and gave CT a 3-2 lead. Boyer in his last 10 games is hitting .500 (20 for 40) with a homer and 9 RBIs and has an 11 game hit streak.
Dan Runzler had an eventful 8th giving up 2 walks, a batter HBP and a single but was bailed out on McBryde's throw home.
Runzler gave up a walk in the 9th but earned the two inning save his first with the Defs. Lively gets his first win as a Defender.

Misc fan notes: Good seeing AR Fan at the game and getting an AR update as Antoan is doing well with the Flyers.
Saw some of the Giants-Mets game before heading up to Dodd. Nate hit a double that would have been at homer at Dodd and most everywhere else. CitiField is big. Saw Cain hitting Wright--which was very scary and saw Pablo's two singles but missed his homer. Kung Fu Panda is something else...
