Harrisburg, Pa. - One day after the Senators scored nine runs in the first inning, the Portland Sea Dogs (47-80) scored eight runs with two-outs in the fourth, and grabbed the season-series finale from Harrisburg (61-66), 9-0 Sunday afternoon at Metro Bank Park. The Sea Dogs finished 3-3 on their 6-game roadtrip in Pennsylvania.
Aaron Wilkerson (2-1) earned a win in both starts on the trip, tossing seven innings for the second consecutive start on two hits, two walks and seven strikeouts.
