New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release
(Portland, ME) - LF Ryan Patterson delivered a two-out single in the top of the 13th inning, scoring RF Dustin Majewski from second base as the Fisher Cats defeated the Sea Dogs 1-0 Saturday night at Hadlock Field. Majewski (2-for-6) singled to lead off the 13th, and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by CF Tony Miller. After DH David Smith grounded out, Portland reliever Mike Bumatay was summoned to face 1B Chip Cannon. Cannon walked, and Patterson followed with the game winning single.
Tracy Thorpe worked a perfect 13th to earn his 18th save in support of Brian Wolfe, who picked up his first win, working two shutout innings.
Starting pitchers Kyle Yates for the Fisher Cats and Thomas Hottovy for the Sea Dogs each worked seven innings, allowing just two hits.
Both teams had opportunities in the late innings. The Fisher Cats had a bases loaded, no out situation in the 9th, but could not score. They loaded the bases again in the 11th, and could not score. Portland left 14 runners on base during the 4-hour-six-minute marathon.
The Sea Dogs did get some help from Binghamton, which lost in Connecticut 5-4 Saturday night. Portland has a two-game lead on the Mets with two games remaining in the battle for a Northern Division playoff spot.
New Hampshire will start David Purcey Sunday afternoon at 1pm in Portland. Frank Brooks is the scheduled starter for the Sea Dogs.
