HARTFORD - Jack Wynkoop turned in the third complete game of his career, hurling the Hartford Yard Goats to a 6-2 win over Harrisburg Saturday night, in the first game of a doubleheader. The Senators won the nightcap, 3-0, in front of 6,491 at Dunkin' Donuts Park, improving their record to a league-best 18-4.
In the first game Wynkoop, a southpaw, allowed two runs in the seven-inning contest on six hits. He didn't walk a batter and struck out five. Colton Welker led the Yard Goats 10-hit attack with three hits, an RBI and a run scored. Ryan Metzler homered and singled and Manny Melendez added two singles and a stolen base of home, as Hartford defeated Harrisburg for the first time in five games this season.
Harrisburg pitchers Mario Sanchez and closer James Bourque held Hartford (11-12) to four hits in the second game. Sanchez pitched six innings, walked one and struck out six. Melendez, Welker and Metzler each reached him for doubles.
The Senators scored a run in the first inning on doubles by Luis Garcia and Ian Sagdal off of starter Jordan Foley. They added two runs in the seventh on an RBI-double by pinch-hitter Drew Ward and a sacrifice fly by Sagdal off of Logan Cozart.
