Norwich Sea Unicorns News Release


TROY, NY - The Connecticut Tigers failed to complete the three-game sweep of the Tri-City ValleyCats despite a season-high 14 hits, falling 6-5 on Tuesday night at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.

The Tigers trailed 6-3 heading into the ninth inning. Javier Azona led off the frame with a double to left field followed by a base hit from Chad Wright, his third hit of the game, advancing Azcona to third base. Colin Kaline would drive in Azcona on a sacrifice fly to make it a 6-4 game. After Jason King grounded out, Samir Rijo got aboard thanks to a Neiko Johnson throwing error.

With runners on the corners Dean Green slapped a base hit into right field to score Wright and bring the Tigers within one. With the tying run represented by Rijo at second base and Green the go-ahead run at first, Jeff Holm swung at the first pitch he saw and flew out to right field to end the game.

Kaline had a season-high two RBI's in the game, while Green also had a season-high three-hit performance in the loss.

Juri Perez collected his first win of the year for the ValleyCats, while Luis Sanz suffered his second loss of the season and second of the road trip, after giving up five runs on six hits through five innings of work.

The Tigers will head home for a five game homestand beginning tomorrow night with game one of a three-game series with the Vermont Lake Monsters. First pitch is set for 7:05 PM at Dodd Stadium.
