Portland, ME- The New Hampshire Fisher Cats scored a season-high 13 runs on a season-best 21 hits in trouncing the Portland Sea Dogs, 13-3, Monday night at Hadlock Field for their fifth consecutive victory. Ryan Patterson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and four RBI to lead the offense.

Patterson's three-run blast over the right field fence in the top of the first inning off Tommy Hottovy was the RELCO Enlightening Play of the Game. It capped a five-run first for New Hampshire (44-37). Aaron Mathews (3-for-6, R, RBI) and Chip Cannon (2-for-6, RBI, 2 R) both had RBI singles in the inning.

Juan Peralta (2-for-5, HR, 2 RBI, 2 R) ended a personal 0-for-25 slump by hitting his first home run of the season off Hottovy (2-8) in the top of the third inning, lifting a two-run blast over the Maine Monster in left field, giving the Fisher Cats an 8-1 lead.

Rob Cosby (2-for-6, 2 RBI, R) added two RBI with a pair of run-scoring singles, and Manny Mayorson (2-for-4, 2 R, RBI, BB) had a double, a single, a sacrifice fly, a walk and two runs scored.

Dustin Majewski (3-for-3, 2 R, 2 BB, RBI) doubled twice and walked twice, taking over the Eastern League lead with 50 walks on the season. Majewski also drove in a run with an eighth inning single.

Jean Machi (1-2) earned his first Eastern League victory with 2.2 hitless innings of relief. The right-hander struck out two and walked one.

Fisher Cats' starter Eric Fowler allowed only one run in 3.1 innings, but he walked five and allowed five hits. The southpaw struck out a season-high six batters.

Hottovy allowed nine runs on 12 hits over five innings to suffer the loss. The left-hander struck out four and walked two.

Bryan Pritz led Portland (40-39) offensively by going 2-for-4 with an RBI double in the second inning off Fowler and a run-scoring single against Matt Roney in the eighth inning.

The Fisher Cats look for the four-game sweep of the Sea Dogs and a season-high sixth consecutive victory when they send right-hander Kyle Yates (5-4, 4.40) to the Hadlock Field mound Tuesday night at 6:00pm against Portland left-hander Daniel Haigwood (2-4, 4.50).
