Mets pound Dogs starter

Game #2 Binghamton vs Portland- April 21 2010

Rough day at the ballpark. On a crystal clear spring day Portland starter Kyle Weiland got roughed up. Mets took a quick 4-0 lead in the first when rightfielder DJ Wabick smashed a 3 run homerun over the rightfield fence. On the bottom half of the inning Portland lead-off hitter Ryan Kalish hit a solo homerun. That made the score 4-1 Mets. Portland starter Kyle Weiland could not keep the Mets from scoring again. After just 4 innings of work the Portland right hander gave up 8 runs. Despite Portland scoring one run each in the 4th, 6th, and 8th this was not the day for the Sea Dogs. Final score: Mets 10 Sea Dogs 4

Game number 1. April 15 2010

Well it finally arrived. Opening night at Hadlock Field, Portland Sea Dogs vs Trenton Thunder. It was a cold crisp night at the ballpark. (Temps in the upper 30's by the end of the night) But 5,654 watched a pitchers duel between Kyle Weiland of Portland and Jeremy Bleich of Trenton. After 4 innings Trenton had a 2-0 lead. The Portland bats were slow to wake up. Bleich of Trenton took a no hitter into the 5th with 2 outs. Jose Iglesias broke up the no-no with a double off the Maine Monster in left. He scored on a single by Jason Place next up. In the sixth Portland tied the game with a rbi single from Yamaico Navarro that scored Lars Anderson. The game remained tied going into the botton of the 10th with Portland up and the bases loaded. With 2 out cleanup hitter Luis Exposito came up and struck out to end the inning. In the top of the 11th Damon Sublett cracked a 2 run homer to give Trenton a 4-2 lead. Portland went down in order 1-2-3 in the bottom half to end the game. So overall an exiting game despite freezing my go-nads off.
