Mooney looking good

He's only playing in his second game for the Connecticut Defenders, but he will quickly become a crowd favorite if he keeps this up.
Mike Mooney, who was 0-for-3 in his debut Wednesday night, is two-for-two in the nightcap to the doubleheader with Portland.
The centerfielder doubled over the head of Portland centerfielder Josh Reddick in the second inning and scored. He followed that up in the third inning with a solo homer to left that briefly gave the Defenders a 5-2 lead over Portland.
Portland has since rallied to take a 6-5 lead into the top of the sixth inning.
