Key to the Game: Dupra vs. Albaladejo, Part II- Tonight’s starting pitchers have squared off once previously this season, with Albaladejo and the Bluefish getting the best of Dupra and the Bees 3-1 on April 29 in Bridgeport. Both pitchers got a no-decision despite both allowing just one run each in five innings of work. Whoever can replicate their success they had on April 29 is most likely to help their team to a win in New Britain tonight.
