Sunday was "Rockies Affiliation Day" in New Britain, so it was apropos the Rock Cats barely got in the last game of their homestand before the wind and torrential downpours commenced. New Britain came into its most recent home stretch an excellent 14-4 at New Britain Stadium and won its series against the Altoona Curve (Pirates) before losing two out of three to New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays) over the weekend.
Although the Rock Cats won the series against the Western Division leading Curve, it came with a significant cost. An in-game collision caused a scary on-field situation during last Thursday's game when David Dahl and Juan Ciriaco collided going after a ball.
