will be a doubleheader, with two seven inning contests starting at 12:05 p.m.
On Wednesday, the series concludes with another 12:05 matinee game.
This afternoon, right-hander Casey Coleman (0-2, 3.95) will start
for the Bees, while righty Sean Gleason (4-7, 4.88) will take to the hill for
the Skeeters.

Yesterday afternoon the Bees came from behind twice to defeat the
Long Island Ducks 8-7, securing a series victory in the process. The offensive
surge was led by a grand slam by Jon Griffin in the 4th inning, his 8th home
run of the season and New Britain’s second grand slam on the year. Nate Roe,
Brandon League and Shawn Gilblair all had scoreless outings out of the bullpen,
limiting Long Island to 2 hits through 3 1/3 innings.
The Skeeters, meanwhile, wrapped up an eight-game road trip
yesterday afternoon, in which they droped three of four games to the Long Island Ducks,
while splitting a four-game set with the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, 2-2. The Sugar Land
offense has found a power surge as of late, as the Skeeters has banked out 13
home runs in their last 10 games, with 41 RBIs in the process. Bryan Pounds is
responsible for three of those home runs and 10 RBIs, even though he is only
batting .162 in that 10 game span.
