New York-Penn League
• Two errors and a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth doomed the Connecticut Tigers on Tuesday night in a 6-3 loss to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers that sent Connecticut to its seventh straight loss.
Austin Athmann (2-for-4) put the Tigers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. In the third inning, Joey Havrilak added an RBI single, and one inning later, Danny Woodrow’s RBI single gave Connecticut a 3-0 lead.
The Tigers led, 3-2, going into the ninth, but fell apart. Bryan Garcia walked the first hitter and threw away a sacrifice bunt attempt toward second base. After a successful sac bunt moved the runners to second and third, a groundball off the glove of shortstop Daniel Pinero scored the tying run and kept two runners on. Silento Sayles then followed with a three-run homer to end the game.
