Binghamton, NY - Adam Calderone went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, a single and four RBIs to power the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to a 10-3 victory over the Binghamton Mets at NYSEG Stadium on Thursday night, giving New Hampshire sole possession of first place in the Eastern League's Eastern Division with their fifth win in six games.

Calderone hit a run-scoring single off starter and losing pitcher Eddie Kunz in the third inning, giving the Fisher Cats (9-5) a 3-1 lead. He belted his second homer of the season in the fifth, a two-run shot off Edgar Ramirez that pushed New Hampshire's lead to 7-1; and he capped his night with a run-scoring double off Ramirez in the sixth that made it 10-2.

Bobby Bell (2-1) beat the Mets (8-7) for the second time in a row by allowing two runs -both on solo homers- on six hits in six innings. The right-hander fanned a season-high seven batters and walked one.

New Hampshire put together a season-best 12 hits, including two for David Cooper (2-for-5, 2 RBI, R), who drove in a pair of runs, and two for Darin Mastroianni (2-for-6, 2B, RBI, 2 R), who had a double, a run and an RBI.

Eric Thames (0-for-4, BB, 3 R, 2 SB) saw his seven-game hitting streak snapped, but he reached base three times, score three runs and stole two bases.

Kunz (1-2) was roughed up for five runs on seven hits in four innings, with three strikeouts and four walks, in the defeat.

Lucas Duda (2-for-5, HR, 2 R) and Jose Coronado (1-for-4, HR) hit home runs for Binghamton.
