Portland, Maine- Jeremy Hazelbaker went 3-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI and scored a run to lead the Portland Sea Dogs (33-46) to a 9-3 victory over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (30-48) Friday night at Hadlock Field before a crowd of 5,007. The Sea Dogs earned a split of the four game series.
Stolmy Pimentel (2-4) earned his second Double-A win hurling six innings holding the Blue Jays affiliate to three runs on four hits. Pimentel walked one and struck out four.
Derrik Gibson broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the sixth with an infield single to score Marquez Smith who had doubled earlier in the inning.
Ryan Goins led-off the game by sending a Pimentel offering into the Sea Dogs bullpen as the Fisher Cats took a quick 1-0 lead.
The Sea Dogs responded with a three run third inning. Derrik Gibson scored on a Jackie Bradley Jr. RBI single and Jeremy Hazelbaker added a two run double off Fisher Cats starter Chad Jenkins (4-7).
The Fisher Cats fought right back in the top of the fourth inning. Mike McDade and Mark Sobolewski produced back to back singles. McDade scored on a wild pitch from Pimentel and Sobolewski came home on a Kevin Howard ground out to second.
Chris Balcom-Miller came on to pitch in the seventh inning looking to preserve a 4-3 lead. Brad Glenn greeted him with a lead-off double and Kenen Bailli followed with a single setting up a first and third situation with no outs. Balcom-Miller was able to escape the jam as Bailli was picked-off. He then struck out Joel Galarraga and got Justin Jackson to fly out to center.
The Sea Dogs exploded for five runs in the eighth inning highlighted by a Hazelbaker two run double. Bryce Brentz added a two run single and Bradley Jr. had a bases loaded walk.
