Five runs in the first three innings set the tone, and the Harrisburg Senators cruised to a 7-1 victory over the Trenton Thunder at Mercer County Waterfront Park on Saturday night.

The Senators first run came in the first inning, when Ofilio Castro singled home Josh Johnson, who had doubled earlier in the inning. Two more runs came in the second, when Stephen Lombardozzi doubled in Brad Coon, and then scored on a Johnson single. Then, in the third, an Edgardo Baez double made it 5-0, as Chris Marrero and Tim Pahuta came around to score against Arbiso. Trenton scored one run in the sixth on a Daniel Brewer sacrifice fly, but the Senators extended their lead with two more in the eighth. Those runs came on a Jhonatan Solano single and a Brad Coon double, with Baez and Solano scoring the runs.
