Defs lose a head scratcher 5-2 to the FisherCats..

at Dodd tonight. starting pitchers Madison Bumgarner and NH's Andrew Liebel making his Double A debut hooked up in a good pitchers duel. MadBum left after 7 IP and trailing 2-1 but Brett Pill's 16the homer of the season over everything in left tied it up at 2-2 and got Madison off the hook for the loss.
Enter Dan Griffin (8-7) in the top of the 8th to relieve MadBum. Here's a guy who had his longest outing of the season two days ago. pitching great (4IP, no runs, 5Ks) Why is he in there? Of course he gets smacked around and gives up 4 hits, a walk and three runs--ballgame over. Liebel goes 8 IP allowing just 5 hits and two runs for his first Double A win
Brett Pill knocked in CT's other run with a RBI ground out in 4th to break. That RBI gave him 101 RBIs at that time and broke Donny Leon's franchise RBI record of 100 set in 1999. Congrats Brett! Pill almost had another homer in the 9th but LF Nick Gorneault robbed him of a 2 run shot leaping high and reaching back over the wall to rob him. The play ended the game as Brad Boyer was doubled off first on the play.

Misc fan notes: Trenton and Portland both win tonight. GB goes tomorrow.
