Heard during the game
(1) As Brett came in for his first at-bat, the commentator mentioned that "Brett has reached base safely at least once in every game he has played (eleven games) and he is the only Sea Dogs batter to do so"
NOTE - as he did not get a hit today, Brett's "on-base-streak" ends at eleven games

(2) During his first at-bat he also mentioned that "Brett is struggling at the moment" and made the following comments:-
--------"He went 2-for-11 in the series against the Mets"
--------"And he was just 3-for-13 in the last series against the Thunder, without an extra base hit"
--------"Roneberg is batting 131 ponts higher against righties than he is against lefties"

Email from Brett
(written before the game on Saturday 24th April)
As for the baseball, I feel great at the plate.
And right now I am not getting anything from that at all.
But I know that I wont change anything
and hopefully I will be back in there today and do some damage.
Hope it's a good one to listen to.
Also, I crushed that line drive in the first inning yesterday --- resulted in just an 'out'!!!!

CAPPED BY ROGERS BUNT SINGLE IN 3-2 WIN OVER PORTLAND

Portland (4-9) scored two runs in the top of the sixth to take a 2-1 advantage against Baysox reliever Thomas Jacquez, who entered in relief of starter Daniel Cabrera to start the frame.
The runs came courtesy of Jeff Bailey and Kenny Perez RBI singles.

The Baysox (7-7) scored the games first run in the bottom of the fourth on a solo homer by Walter Young against Portland starter Chris Smith, who allowed only three hits and one run in five innings.
