Manchester, NH -The Bowie Baysox scored four runs on five hits in the top of the first inning on their way to an 8-4 win over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats at MerchantsAuto.com Stadium on Wednesday night.

New Hampshire starter Kyle Yates (0-5) was reached for eight runs --five earned-- on 10 hits in six innings. He struck out two and walked one, becoming the first five-game loser in the Eastern League this season.

Jeff Fiorentino (2-for-5, HR, 3 RBI, 2 R) smashed a two-out, three-run homer off Yates in the top of the sixth inning, giving Bowie (13-12) an 8-3 lead after a Chip Cannon fielding error prolonged the frame.

The Baysox started the game with four consecutive hits off Yates. Tony Alvarez (2-for-5, RBI, 2 R, SB) had an RBI single, and Leo Daigle (2-for-3, 2 2B, RBI, 2 BB) added a run-scoring double before the first out of the game --an RBI grounder by Mario Delgado (2-for-5, 2 2B, 2 RBI)-- was recorded, making it 4-0.

Delgado increased the lead to 5-0 with an RBI double in the top of the third inning for Bowie.

New Hampshire (9-15) cut the deficit to 5-3 in the bottom of the fourth on a Chip Cannon (2-for-3, 3B, 2 RBI) two-run triple and an RBI single by Erik Kratz (3-for-4, 2B, RBI).

Adam Lind (2-for-4, 2B, 2 R) scored the fourth Fisher Cats' run on a Delgado throwing error in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Australian left-hander Craig Anderson (3-0) allowed three runs on six hits in 6.1 innings to earn the win for Bowie. He struck out seven and did not allow a walk. Chris Britton (1.2 IP, 1 ER) and Jason Pearson (1 IP, 0 ER) closed it out.
