In the third inning, Anthony Gose led off with his 12th home run for a 3-0 lead. Moises Sierra singled, Gomes singled and Sobolewski singled to score Sierra with another run.

New Hampshire (64-52) extended the lead in the top of the sixth inning. Sobolewski walked, Tolisano singled, and Diaz walked to load the bases. Sobolewski scored on a groundout by Hechavarria to make it 5-0.

Two more Fisher Cats runs came across in the bottom of the seventh inning. d'Arnaud and Gomes started the inning with singles and both moved up on a wild pitch. Tolisano (2-for-3, 3 RBI) drilled a single scoring both runners for a 7-0 lead.

Sierra hit his 16th homer in the eighth inning for the final run.

Jay Voss (7-6) took the loss for Erie (56-60).
