There wasn't much offense in New Britain tonight although the Sea Dogs won 3-0 and 5-1. Portland scored 3 runs in the seventh of the second game when the Rock Cats left fielder took the scenic route while tracking an Anderson short fly ball down the line that fell for a double and cleared the bases. They also got a bonus run in the first game when the pitcher inexplicably cut off a throw to the plate (what was he even doing about 6 feet in front of the catcher?) that would have had Apodaca by 10 feet.

Doubront looked strong going the distance in game one and really only giving up a couple of well hit balls - a long drive to center that Reddick tracked down and the triple on which Place was hurt. I'm not sure how accurate the gun is in NB, but they had him in the upper 80s early rising to 91-92 by the 4th inning.

Among the hitters only Kalish had more than one well hit ball - getting two doubles in game 2 on shots into the gap. Jiminez also looked pretty good, hanging in well against a lefty to line a base hit up the middle and drawing a couple of walks in game 2. In general, however, there were few well hit balls by either team during the entire doubleheader.
