Goodbye Connecticut!

The IronBirds fell by a score of 11-1 in the final game of a three game set with the Connecticut Tigers. It was a night to forget for the IronBirds as they collected just four hits and a run. IronBirds' DH Jay Gonzalez led the game off with a single before being retired on an fielder's choice. Tad Gold collected a triple off of Tigers' RHP Josh Heddinger in the third and shortly after came around to score off of a Randolph Gassaway sac-fly to right field. The only other IronBird hitters to collect a hit were Jamill Moquete and Hector Veloz. RHP Matthew Grimes got to start for the IronBirds and went just three complete innings. Grimes allowed five runs (three earned), off of six hits and struck out two. Stefan Crichton came in relief of Grimes in the fourth inning and saw similar results.
