Defenders capture first, 1-0

Connecticut climbed within a game of the .500 mark with a 1-0 win over Portland in the completion of a suspended game between the two teams.
The completion of the game took less time than it did to get it started as there was a one hour, 47-minute rain delay before the first pitch was thrown.
Carlos Sosa scored what proved to be the game's only run when he walked, stole second, went to third on a single by Dave Maroul and scored on a sacrifice fly.
One interesting note; Portland starter Kris Johnson (7-7) took the loss even though he didn't throw a pitch on Friday. Johnson was responsible for Sosa as the game was suspended with Sosa at the plate with a 2-1 count on him.
