The Bees: Jamar Walton was the main story for the Bees at the plate in last night’s game. He totaled 4 hits in a game for the first time since he was a member of the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in a contest against Sugar Land last season. He also drove in 2 of New Britain’s 3 runs, one coming in the 1st and another in the 8th. The other Bees run was driven in by Jovan Rosa, also in the 8th inning.

 

The Opposition: York scored 2 runs in 3 different innings to total their 6 runs on the night last night. Unlike the first two games of the series, none of the Revolution runs were brought in with home runs. 5 of the starting 9 in York’s lineup had multiple hits in the contest. Isaias Tejeda drove in the game winning runs with a 2 run RBI single in the 4th inning to make the score 4-1 at the time.

 

Starting Pitchers – New Britain: LHP Greg Nappo (0-1, 5.14) | York: RHP Steve Janas (2-5, 4.79)

 

Key to the Game – More than 4: On the season, the Bees are 23-10 whenever they score more than 4 runs in a game. They’ve scored 4 runs or less in 8 of their last 10 games, going 2-8 in that stretch. The key to success for the Bees in today’s game will be for the offense to take advantage of any opportunity they may have, big or small, and aim for the goal of 5 runs or more. The odds heavily fall in New Britain’s favor once that goal is reached; they are 6-11 on the season when they score 4 runs, and 6-4 whenever they score exactly 5.
