Missed opportunity

Too bad for the Defenders. A great opportunity to put pressure on Binghamton and Portland went right out the window. Instead of sweeping the twinbill this evening against Altoona, the Defenders dropped both. With a pair of wins, Connecticut would have been 3 1/2 games out of the playoff picture. Instead, they are 5 1/2 games out.

Of course, the game of baseball isn't about what ifs. You have to execute on the field. Besides, as easy as it is to point at tonight's setback, there are 63 other games we can say 'what if".
