The Bees: In last night’s game, New Britain scored 1 run in 4 different innings to tally all 4 of their runs. In the 1st, Jamar Walton brought home Jordan Hinshaw with an RBI single. In the 6th, Michael Crouse hit a solo home run. In the 7th, Yusuke Kajimoto scored on an RBI groundout by James Skelton. Finally in the 9th, Yusuke Kajimoto scored once again on an RBI double by Michael Baca.
 
The Opposition: The game winning runs for York came off the bat of Alonzo Harris, who hit a grand slam in the 2nd inning to give the Revolution a 5-1 lead at the time. Their first run of the frame came thanks to an RBI double by Dayron Varona. The Revs would add on one more run in the 4th and 7th innings, off of a sacrifice fly by Alonzo Harris and an RBI single by Michael Burgess, respectively.
 
Starting Pitchers – New Britain: RHP Kyle Simon (6-9, 4.61) | York: RHP Victor Mateo (4-6, 3.94)
 
Key to the Game – Hold back Harris: Through his last 4 games against the Bees, Alonzo Harris has driven in 8 runs, hit 2 home runs and has generated a .500 batting average (9-18). As previously mentioned, he hit the game winning grand slam in the 2nd inning of last night’s game. Look for Kyle Simon and the Bees to scramble their pitch selection when delivering to Harris, making him guess at the plate and limiting his time on the bases.
 
Broadcast: The Bees’ Official YouTube Channel (youtube.com/NewBritainBees) and Facebook Live (facebook.com/newbritainbees), starting at 6:20 P.M.
