Bridgeport, CT - T.J. Mathews and the Bluefish took down the Long Island Ducks 6-0 in game one of the North Division Championship Series at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard on Tuesday night. Mathews threw nine complete innings of shutout baseball giving up just six hits while the Bluefish combined for eight hits and six runs. Mathews proved he had his game in the top of the second when Henry Rodriguez led off with a single just out of the reach of a diving P.J. Rose. With the runner on Mathews began to bear down on Duck batters, striking out Jayson Bass and Kevin Haverbusch and forcing Greg Connors to pop out. Steve Hine got himself into scoring position with no outs in the bottom of the third inning after a ball was mishandled by Duck first baseman Henry Rodriguez. Jamie Pogue laid down a sac bunt to move Hine to second and Angel Espada ripped a ground rule double to bring him home. Deivi Cruz came up next and singled home Espada to give the Bluefish a 2-0 lead. Rose walked to lead off the bottom of the fourth and Damian Rolls followed with a rip down the left-field line. Ahearne then walked Hine to get to Pogue who singled to left field, scoring Rolls and Rose. Almonte recorded his second single of the day in the top of the sixth. He then stole second base to get into scoring position. Norm Hutchins ripped a single up the middle in the bottom of the seventh inning and scored when Bryant Nelson dropped a double down in front of the Ducks' left fielder, Jayson Bass. Later in the inning Willis Otanez poked a ball through the right side to score Nelson and move Cruz to second. The final would be 6-0 Bluefish. |
