The Bees: New Britain is heading into York, where they have completed their only sweep of the season back on May 22nd – 24th, defeating the Revolution in 3 straight games. It was originally scheduled to be a 4 game series, but on May 25th the game was postponed, so it will be made up today as part of the doubleheader. The Bees have not played a doubleheader on the road yet this season, but they have played 5 at home.
The Opposition: This 4 game set against New Britain is part of a 7 game home stand for the Revolution, which began on Friday against Lancaster. They won the series 2-1, with their most recent game being a win. Game 1’s starting pitcher, Luis Guzman, is one of the newest additions to the Revolution roster. He was signed on June 10th, and will be making his York debut to open up the doubleheader.
Starters –
Game 1: New Britain: RHP Mike Lee (0-4, 5.58) | York: RHP Luis Guzman (0-0, 0.00) Game 2: New Britain: RHP Brian Dupra (3-3, 2.64) | York: LHP Frank Gailey (5-4, 4.59)
Key to the Game – Warm Pennsylvania welcome: The last time that New Britain visited the keystone state, their offense was on fire. They set their franchise record in number of hits in a game with 18, and then tied it again several days later. Their powerful offense was the biggest contributor to their sweep of York back in late May, which was part of a 4 game winning streak at the time. Look for the Bees to welcome themselves back to Pennsylvania by putting on a show at the plate, showing Guzman what the New Britain offense is made of and Gailey that the bats have not missed a beat.
