BRIDGEPORT, CT . - The Bridgeport Bluefish scored seven runs in the final four innings to come from behind and defeat the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs 7-2 in the second game of their four-game series at Harbor Yard. Bridgeport improves to 2-0 in the second half while the Blue Crabs drop to 0-3.

The Bluefish snagged the lead in the 7th inning with two more home runs. Denny Almonte's first of the night made it 2-1 and Austin Gallagher hit his first of the season two batters later to double their advantage.
