LANCASTER BARNSTORMERS vs. BRIDGEPORT BLUEFISH

Atlantic League Championship Series: Game #1

Bridgeport, CT - The Bridgeport Bluefish, primed for the lid-lifter in the 2006 Atlantic League Championship Series, were defeated by the Lancaster Barnstormers 13-4 here Friday night before a crowd of 2436.

Starter Brian Boehringer, in his first game since returning to the Bluefish from a summer in organized ball, didn't get out of the third inning, as the 'Stormers touched him up for five runs, two coming on a Justin Hileman single.

Eddie Ramos came on in relief and retired eight of the nine batters he faced, but the visitors unloaded their lumber again in the sixth, scoring another eight runs, including three-run homers by Jeremy Todd and Chris Van Rossum.

The Bluefish answered with a solo run in the third as P. J. Rose drove in Deivi Cruz, and a three-run eighth including a two-RBI single by Norm Hutchins.

Barnstormer starter Brian Whitaker notched the win, working six innings, giving up just four hits and one run.

The two teams meet again on Saturday at 6:05 at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard, with Mike Porzio on the hill for the Bluefish against Scott Sobkowiak going for the 'Stormers.
