New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release
(Bowie, MD) - Jon Berti drove in two runs and stole two bases and Rowdy Tellez added two hits and an RBI as the Fisher Cats opened a six-game roadtrip with a 6-2 win at Bowie on Tuesday night.
New Hampshire (53-61) scored three times in the top of the fourth inning. Jason Leblebijian singled and Derrick Loveless reached on an error. Christian Lopes singled, his third hit of the game, to drive in Leblebijian. Lopes then stole second and when Bowie made an error on the throw, Loveless scored. Richard Urena then doubled to drive in Lopes to put the Fisher Cats up 3-0.
The Baysox (49-66) cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning by taking advantage of the wildness of starter Shane Dawson, who walked the bases loaded before yielding to reliever Brady Dragmire. Dragmire (3-5), who earned the win in relief induced a doubleplay as one run scored. Henry Uuruita beat out an infield single as a second run scored.
New Hampshire scored the game's final three runs. Berti walked and stole second, scoring on a double by Rowdy Tellez for a 4-2 lead in the seventh. Berti ripped a two-run single with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth and added another stolen base to give the Fisher Cats some breathing room en route to the win.
Dawson worked into the fifth inning, allowing two runs on three hits, but he walked a career high six batters. New Hampshire relievers were strong again. In addition to Dragmire's two scoreless innings, Colton Turner, Wil Browning and Murphy Smith combined to keep the Baysox off the board.
The series with Bowie continues on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. RHP Wilmer Font (1-0, 3.60) starts for the Fisher Cats against Baysox RHP David Hess (4-10, 5.55).
