New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release


MANCHESTER, N.H. - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays Double-A affiliate) are back at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium for a four-game homestand starting on Thursday night at 6:35 p.m. For the first time in franchise history, the team will not play as the Fisher Cats for an entire weekend. The brand new Gatos Feroces identity debuts on Saturday and is followed by Mountain Men Sunday.

New Hampshire (11-13) is still in the thick of the Eastern Division first half playoff hunt, with a number of players making significant contributions of late.

Outfielder Forrest Wall - a member of the 2018 championship squad - extended his hitting streak to ten consecuitve games with a knock on Tuesday in Trenton to establish a new team high.

Patrick Murphy had a marvelous outing on Sunday, April 28 in Reading. The

#18 Blue Jays prospect (MLB.com) set a career high with eight innings pitched in which he allowed one run on two hits, walked two and struck out seven. He's slated to pitch at home on Friday, May 3.

Reliever Bryan Baker picked up his first career Double-A save in Reading on April 27 and has yet to allow a run in eight innings pitched.

Newcomer Willy Ortiz made his Blue Jays organizational debut on Tuesday against the Trenton Thunder, when he lit up the ARM & HAMMER Park radar gun with fastballs as high as 98 miles per hour through two perfect innings of relief.

This weekend, the Fisher Cats welcome the Hartford Yard Goats (Colorado Rockies) to Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. New Hampshire is 2-5 against the Yard Goats this year, as the teams battle for the Plymouth Rock Assurance Cup in the head-to-head regular season series.
