(Bridgeport, Conn.) - Prentice Redman hit a walk-off two run shot in the eighth, in the first game to start a doubleheader sweep by the Bridgeport Bluefish (24-31) against the Somerset Patriots (26-29) at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard on Saturday. Bridgeport won the first game by a score of 2-0 in eight innings and 2-1 in the finale. The Bluefish are one win shy of 1,000 in franchise history.
Redman ripped a two-run shot to left in the first game of the doubleheader in the eighth off of Somerset righthanded reliever, T.J. Hose (1-2). His seventh homer of the season accounted for his second hit of the contest. Eddie Rogers reached base twice in the opener while Luis Lopez, Luis Rodriguez and James Simmons collected the only other hits.
Rommie Lewis (3-1) allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to pick up the victory after Dan Serafini delivered a gem. The Bridgeport southpaw starter completed seven innings while giving up one hit and three walks while fanning four.

Hose entered the game and surrendered the final runs in an inning of work. The reliever allowed one hit and a walk while striking out a batter.
In game two, Bridgeport starter Paul Oseguera (5-2) tossed the teams' second complete game of the year in picking up the victory. The southpaw allowed one run, five hits, and one walk while striking out six. He gave up an RBI single in the first to Aaron Matthews.
