The Portland Sea Dogs used solid pitching and timly hitting to beat the New Britain Rock Cats 4 - 1 on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon for baseball.
Sea Dogs starter Felix Dubront went 5 2/3 innings allowing only 3 hits and 1 run. Relievers TJ Large and Bryce Cox only gave up 1 hit the rest of the way, finishing the stellar pitching for the Dogs.
Seems there were a few fireworks left over from the Friday Night display, as Sea Dogs Cartcher/DH Luis Exposito seemed to be a target for Rock Cats pitcher Carlos Gutierrez. During Exposito's at bat in the 2nd inning which resulted in a walk, Gutierrez threw behind Exposito 2 times. Exposito stepped back and the 2 exchanded some harsh glances.
Fast forward to the Sea Dogs 6th with 1 on and no out, Gutierrez came up and in and hit Exposito in the arm. Lots of words were exchanged, but order was kept. "I have no idea what happened". Gutierrez and Exposito played in the same area in high school, but Exposito said "we never saw then so it couldn't be (from that)"
Home plate umpire Tim Eastman warned both benches as the time of the play. Sea Dogs manager Arnie Beyeler stuch around a little longer between innings to get clarification on the warning. On his way back to the dugout, Beyeler was tossed by Eastman. When asked what the ejection was for he said "I have no idea, I was on my way back to the dugout."
The Rock Cats and Sea Dogs finish things off tomorrow at 1pm at Hadlock.

PORTLAND SEA DOGS GAME SUMMARY
Nate Spears hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning to snap a 1-1 tie. The Sea Dogs (12-9) would go on to defeat the New Britain Rocks (4-17) 4-1 on Saturday afternoon at Hadlock Field in front of 6,890 fans.
Portland jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second. With Luis Exposito on third and Juan Apodaca on first, Yamaico Navarro hit in to a fielders choice, allowing Exposito to cross the plate.
The Rock Cats instantly tied the game back up at 1-1. Toby Gardenhire doubled to start the inning. Leadoff man Ben Revere put a bunt down to Doubront, but a bad throw kept Revere safe. Mark Dolenc hit in to a double play, but it allowed Gardenhire to scamper home.Things got heated between the two clubs in the bottom of the sixth inning. After being thrown behind twice in an earlier at-bat, Exposito was hit by a Carlos Gutierrez offering which got both dugouts warned. In-between innings, Sea Dogs manager Arnie Beyeler was ejected by Home Plate umpire Tim Eastman.
Spenser Steedley relieved Guiterrez in the seventh inning and Yamaico Navarro led off the inning with a single. After a Che-Hsuan Lin fly out, Chih-Hsien Chiang got a seeing-eye single through the infield and Will Vazquez drew a four-pitch walk to fill the bases. Nate Spears drove a deep fly ball that stayed in the park, but was able to score Navarro, giving the Sea Dogs a 2-1 lead.
Exposito added some insurance for the Sea Dogs in the eighth inning. With Ryan Kalish on first, Exposito ripped a RBI double that gave Portland a 3-1 lead. After a Juan Apodaca ground out moved Exposito to third, Navarro lifted a fly ball deep enough to score Exposito, giving the Sea Dogs a 4-1 lead.
Felix Doubront pitched a wonderful game for the Sea Dogs but did not factor into the decision. In five and two thirds, Doubront gave up only three hits and one earned run. T.J. Large (1-0) picked up the victory in his relief effort of Doubront. Bryce Cox entered the game in the ninth, picking up his third save of the season.
Carlos Gutierrez pitched a gem for the Rock Cats, going six innings, giving up one earned run. Spenser Steedley (1-2) took the loss for New Britain.
The Sea Dogs and Rock Cats finish up the three game series tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 PM. Ryne Miller (1-1) takes the ball for the Sea Dogs, Tyler Robertson (0-1) is on the bump for the 'Cats.
