Mike Mooney came to the Connecticut Defenders with little fanfare.
In fact, Connecticut manager Bien Figeuroa said he knew little about his new outfielder Friday night although it was clear that "he had a little pop in his bat."
That could be the classic understatement of the season.
Mooney hit a home run last night and followed that up with a pair of homers in tonight's doubleheader opener against Portland which Connecticut won, 14-6.
Mooney hit one into the Dunkin Donuts sign on the left-field light tower for a first inning grand slam and followed that with a two-run dinger in the fourth. He also added an RBI double in the sixth to give him seven RBIs on the night, two shy of the all-time franchise record.
If anything, everyone knows who Mooney is now.
The Defenders could use more of that production in game two, they trail Portland 2-0 in the top of the third.
