Two in the Ninth Gives Pats the Win
By Atlantic League Independent Wire Services on May 29, 2009
Bridgeport, CT – The Bridgeport Bluefish were defeated by the Somerset Patriots in the rubber match of a three-game series on Thursday 4-3 at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard.
The Bluefish offense was highlighted by one swing of the bat from Ed Rogers in the first inning. Rogers connected on a three-run shot that scored Luis Lopez and Brandon Sing to give Bridgeport an early lead. Adam Greenberg also contributed with a base knock to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
Corey Lee did not factor in the decision, but found his groove early and never lost it after allowing only one run on five hits and five walks, while striking out four over six innings of work. Andy Weimer also pitched well for Bridgeport by adding a perfect frame in the seventh. Rick Asadoorian (0-2) suffered the loss after surrendering the tying and go-ahead runs in the ninth inning.
Jim Magrane (4-0) pitched well for Somerset, lasting eight innings and allowing five hits, three runs, three walks and struck out eight. Matt Hagen turned out to be the hero for the Patriots after he connected on the game tying single that scored Sean Smith. Jeff Nettles also came across the plate as the eventual winning run on the same play after an overthrow by Brandon Sing.
