New Britain Bees News Release
The Bees: Michael Crouse hopes to carry over the swing that helped him have one of his best months of the season in August. In 29 games last month, the outfielder lead the Bees with a .337 average (34-101), 13 extra-base hits and 18RBIs in addition to stealing 16 bases in 21 attempts.
The Opposition: The Skeeters will send former Bee Sean Gleason to the hill in the series finale. The right-hander from Colorado will make his first start with Sugar Land after signing yesterday with the team. With the Bees, Gleason was 2-6 in 15 games (four starts).
Starters:
New Britain- RHP Nate Roe (3-1, 5.30) | Sugar Land- RHP Sean Gleason (0-0, 0.00)
Key to the Game - Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot: As the Bees look for the sweep of the Skeeters, the offense will try to continue the hot hitting that has helped them win a season high five straight games. Over the past five games, the Bees are collectively hitting .297 (55-185) while averaging 6.2 runs per game, the highest mark in the league over those five games.
