New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release


Manchester, NH- Ricky Romero allowed one run on five hits over six innings to record his first career Eastern League victory Monday night as the New Hampshire Fisher Cats beat the Reading Phillies, 5-3, before 5,403 fans at MerchantsAuto.com Stadium.

New Hampshire (57-70) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning against Tim McClaskey (4-7). Dustin Majewski (2-for-4, RBI, 2 R) led off with a single, Manny Mayorson sacrificed him to second base and David Smith drilled his team-leading 31st double to the right-centerfield gap, driving in his 67th run of the year.

The Fisher Cats would grab a 5-0 lead in the second inning on four consecutive run-scoring hits from Tim Olson (single), Ryan Klosterman (single), Dustin Majewski (double) and Manny Mayorson (single).

McClaskey would settle down from there, retiring the next 12 batters he faced and 16 of his last 17. The Phillies' right-hander surrendered five runs on eight hits over seven innings, striking out two and walking one.

Reading (65-61) went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position, stranding eight men on base during Romero's six-inning stint. The left-hander allowed five hits, walked four and struck out three to snap a franchise record-tying six-game losing streak.

Kyle Yates retired the side in order in the eighth inning, and Tracy Thorpe worked a perfect ninth for his 12th save.

Juan Sosa had an RBI single for the Phillies in the sixth inning against Romero, and Jason Jaramillo belted a two-run double off right-hander Justin James (1 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 0 K) in the seventh. It was the first time in 18 career Double-A appearances that James allowed multiple runs in an outing.

The Fisher Cats and the R-Phils continue their three-game series Tuesday night at 6:35pm when Mike MacDonald (10-9, 3.88) aims for his team-leading 11th victory against Reading right-hander John Stephens (0-1, 8.25) at MerchantsAuto.com Stadium. Bob Lipman and Mike Murphy have the radio broadcast starting at 6:25pm on WTPL 107.7FM.
