Harrisburg Senators News Release
The Senators continued their winning ways on Wednesday night, defeating the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 3-2. Michael Daniel hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning to give the Sens the 3-2 win.
Adrian Alaniz earned his second win of the year, going 3.2 innings and allowing just one run while striking out a season high eight batters. Atahualpa Severino picked up his second save retiring the final four batters he faced after walking the first two.
New Hampshire broke through first, scoring a run in the bottom on the third for a 1-0 lead.
The Sens tied the game in the fourth on a rbi single off the bat of Bill Rhinehart to drive in Jemel Spearman.
New Hampshire regained the lead in the sixth inning on a home run off the bat of David Cooper. That set the stage for Daniel. Freddie Bynum had reached on a bunt and went to second on a throwing error. Daniel took three pitches out of the strikeout before lining his seventh home run of the season just over the wall in right.
