Tri-City Slaps 8-6 Loss on Tigers
Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium was the site of the home opener for the Connecticut Tigers. The contest featured a prime matchup between Willie Martinez of the visiting Tri-City ValleyCats and Phil Gibbs of the Tigers. The final score was 8-6, the ValleyCats getting the win. Logan Fore turned in the best performance. Chris Hoyt snagged the win in relief. In 3 innings, the left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits. He's now 1-0 on the season. Justin Mackey closed the door for Tri-City, picking up his 1st save of the year.

Tri-City used a clutch hit from Mike Steiner to get the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the ValleyCats ahead, 8-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Steiner told the Tri-City Herald: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
