| The Bees came through with a come-from-behind 8-3 victory over the High Point Rockers at New Britain Stadium on Tuesday night. |
NEW BRITAIN—The New Britain Bees defeated the High Point (N.C.) Rockers, 8-3, before 1,357 fans at New Britain Stadium on Tuesday night. It was the opening game of a three-game midweek series between the Liberty Division foes.
New Britain starting pitcher Akeel Morris (7-4) picked up the win after
allowing two runs on six hits in five and one-third innings pitched, walking
six and striking out five. High Point starter Edwin Carl (5-5) was
tagged with the loss. He surrendered four runs on six hits (one home run) in
five innings, walking five and striking out one.
Down 2-0 in the bottom half of the fourth inning, New Britain took the lead 3-2 with one big swing of the bat as Logan Moore launched a go-ahead three-run home run to the opposite-field in left for his 15th big fly of the season and second in the last three contests. In 54 games played since the All-Star Break, Moore has now collected 12 home runs and 37 runs batted in. After the fans stretched in the last of the seventh, the boys from the Hardware City sent ten batters to the plate and scored four more times to open up a commanding 8-2 advantage, highlighted by an RBI single by Jason Rogers (his 90th of the season), an Ozzie Martinez hit by pitch with the bases loaded, a run-scoring base hit by of Rando Moreno (.352 September batting average with nine RBIs in 17 games), and a bases-loaded free pass to Darren Ford.
Sammy Gervacio, Brady Dragmire, Dakota Smith and Chris Reed protected the lead for Morris, allowing just one run in 3.2 innings. The quartet struck out three in the process while the offense scored eight or more runs in a ballgame for the 27th time in 2019 (24-3 record) and also notched ten or more hits in a matchup for the 47th time as New Britain improved to 14-7 in games played on a Tuesday. Ryan Jackson, Jonathan Galvez, and Zach Collier led the way with two hits apiece. Photo provided courtesy of Meaghan O’Donoghue.
