Game One - The Sea Dogs and Trenton Thunder participated in Turn up the clock day, wearing the uniforms of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees respectively. Trenton looked like the Yankees in the 1st inning, opening the scoring early with back to back doubles by Austin Krum and David Adams to take a 1 - 0 lead over the Sea Dogs.
The Thunder took a 2 - 0 lead in the 4th with a very odd play. The Thunder's Luis Nunez hit a liner to right field that looked like Sea Dogs left fielder Ryan Kalish would get to it. Kalish did not, but short hopped it and quickly got it into shortstop Jose Iglasias who clearly tagged 2nd for the force. Iglasias then threw to 3rd baseman Ray Chang, who tagged the Trenton runner for what should have been the third out. The Sea Dogs started to leave the field, but the umpire crew stopped them saying there were only 2 outs. Manager Arnie Beyeler came out for a short argument. The crew ruled that Iglasias missed 2nd base, allowing Brandon Laird to score. Dogs pitcher Steven Fife got Justin Snyder to fly out on the next play.
The Thunder tacked on another run in the 5th on a Laird RBI single.
The only run for the Sea Dogs came in the 9th when Lars Anderson turned on a fastball and blasted it halfway up the US Cellular Pavillion for his 2nd Hr of the season, ending the scoring giving the Thunder the 3 -1 win.
Game Two - Red Sox top prospect Casey Kelly got his first Hadlock Field start in the rainy 2nd game of the day. Kelly effectively worked through the 1st getting allowing the only 2 hits he would allow, but stranding both runners.
Ryan Kalish opened the Sea Dogs half of the 1st with a walk. He promptly stole 2nd and moved to 3rd on a passed ball by Trenton. Luis Exposito delivered Kalish home with a Maine Monster double and Lars Anderson doubled to left plating Exposito to put the Sea Dogs up quickly 2 - 0.
Kelly then went to worked and retired the next 6 batter in a row, with 2 strikeouts looking to end his day with 3 innings. Kelly went 3, allowed 2 hits, 0 runs and had 2 Ks.
Eammon Portice started the 4th inning for the Sea Dogs and was promptly greeted with a Brandon Laird blast off the Coke sign in left center field. Portice settled down, and pitching took over the rest of the way as the Sea Dogs win the second 2 - 1.
Next Game in the home stand in Monday against the Binghamton Mets.
