I love these uniforms.

I made one final trip to Norwich on Sunday and am just now getting to the computer to post some game notes if you are interested.

Jimenez led off the game by beating out a grounder to short. However the umpire did not see it that way and declined to change his call even after Gilberto's mild protest. A bunt attempt in the 9th was popped high enough for the catcher to field in front of the plate. When Alfonzo caught it, Gilberto was two steps from first.

The Davis single was a pop just behind second that the right fielder called for, then couldn't make a diving catch on. Two of his outs were drives to the wall in right center and strait away center, 380 and 400 feet.

All three of Decker's hits were line drives. The fourth inning triple was a ball Quiggle dove across for and missed that he might have played conservatively for a single or double. The first inning single was a liner over short and in the fifth, a line single over second off the lefty Domnarski's 86 mph fastball.

Erro looked good from the left side hitting line drives over second and short in the second and fourth. One of Flores singles was a grounder under the first baseman's glove that was ruled a hit.

Defensively, Northcut made a nice diving stop on Liniak in the 9th but his throw pulled Davis off the base.

Jaxx looked good throwing today. Liniak was out by so much on his first inning stolen base attempt that he just walked into the tag, giving himself up. In the second, he had trouble getting the ball out of his glove, double clutching on Rea's attempt, but the throw was still in time to get him and end the inning.

Nothing really new so nowhere else to put this.
