Hartford Yard Goats News Release
MANCHESTER, NH - Bret Boswell's two-run homer and RBI-single lifted the Hartford Yard Goats to their fourth straight win, 8-5 over New Hampshire, before a sellout crowd of 6,594 at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium Sunday afternoon. It was the Yard Goats' 14th win in 18 games against New Hampshire and moved Hartford (28-21) a season-high seven games over .500. Eight of Hartford's victories against New Hampshire have been in come-from-behind fashion. The Yard Goats go for the four-game sweep Memorial Day afternoon.
Boswell's two-run shot to right-center, his fourth home run this season, tied the game 2-2 in the fourth inning. Down 4-2 in the fifth, the Goats clawed back with a run on Colton Welker's sacrifice fly and took the lead in the sixth on Boswell's RBI-single and a wild pitch, scoring Brian Serven with the go-ahead run. The Yard Goats broke open the game with three runs in the ninth, helped by a two-base throwing error by pitcher Jake Fishman, enabling two runners to score.
Alan Trejo's three hits and RBI paced the Yard Goats 12-hit attack. Bowell's homer, single and three RBI and two hits by Manny Melendez and run scored also added to the offense. Riley Adams had a two-run homer, single and three RBI for New Hampshire
