Hurter allowed a pair of unearned runs in the third. Danny Serretti's error allowed Robert Hassell III to reach with one out. He scored on Trey Lipscomb's RBI triple. Lipscomb then scored on James Wood's sacrifice fly.
Dustin Saenz locked the SeaWolves down through the first six frames. He allowed singles to Trei Cruz in the first and Jake Holton in the second but both hits were erased on double play grounders. Saenz faced the minimum through six.
Justice Bigbie clobbered an opposite-field, solo homer against Saenz to get Erie on the scoreboard in the seventh inning.
Hurter (5-6) took the loss. Saenz (1-4) earned his first Double-A win.
