Portland Sea Dogs News Release
(Manchester, NH) - Power was the name of the game for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on Thursday night. Adam Calderone (2) and Brad Emaus both went deep, as the Fisher Cats defeated the Portland Sea Dogs 9-2 at MerchantsAuto.com Stadium.
The Fisher Cats wasted little time in jumping on Sea Dogs' starter Ryne Miller. After Darin Mastroianni led off with a fly out, Adam Calderone put the home team ahead, launching a towering home run to right field. Two batters later, Brad Emaus added to the lead, hitting a two-run homer for a 3-0 New Hampshire advantage.
Miller settled down, keeping the Fisher Cats off of the scoreboard in the second and third innings, but in the fourth, more trouble was presented. New Hampshire's first four batters of the frame all reached base, with Brian Jeroloman and Darin Mastroianni each picking up RBI. However, the biggest hit of the inning came when Adam Calderone went deep for the second time in three at bats.
When the fourth inning ended, so did Ryne Miller's day on the mound. The Portland starter completed his outing, allowing seven runs, eight hits, and three walks. Miller (1-2) suffered his first loss since April 20th against Binghamton.
On the other side, Bobby Bell had a great start for New Hampshire. Bell (3-2) earned the win, tossing seven innings, allowing two runs, six hits, and one walk, while striking out four. The only blemish for the Fisher Cats' starter came in the top of the fifth, when Che-Hsuan Lin lined a two-run shot over the left field wall.
Santo Luis pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the Sea Dogs, but the offense was unable to recover. The Fisher Cats tacked on two more runs off of Robert Coello, as they picked up a 9-2 win in the series opener.
Portland and New Hampshire will play game two of this four-game series on Friday night at 7:05. Kyle Weiland (0-2, 5.48) will get the start for the Sea Dogs, and will be opposed by the Fisher Cats' Luis Perez (3-2, 3.08).
