Key to the Game - Plug the leaks: The Bees' bullpen has been shaky in the last two games against the Bluefish, allowing a combined four runs on five hits in 6.1 innings and getting tagged with both losses. To salvage the final game of the series and earn a split in Bridgeport, the Bees' bullpen, if called upon, will need to tighten up the loose ends and finally quiet the bats of Bridgeport.
