(West Haven, CT)- The New Haven County Cutters couldn't come up with the big hit and despite holding a lead dropped their fifth game in the last seven to the Bangor Lumberjacks 5-2.

With the score tied at one in the fifth inning, Kevin Forbes drove a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Gavin Fingleson putting the Cutters up 2-1. That was the only time that New Haven would hold the lead.

In the top of the sixth inning, Mark Burke hit a tapper in front of the plate with runners in motion from first and second. The weakly hit ball was scooped up by Nick Hiter down the first base line and he threw out Burke.
