Harrisburg Senators News Release
TONIGHT'S GAME: The Senators and Erie SeaWolves (Detroit Tigers) play game four of their six-game series tonight at UPMC Park in Erie. The Senators and SeaWolves are meeting for the third and final time this season. The teams split their series in May and then Erie took four of six from the Senators in June. Erie leads the season series 8-7. Overall Harrisburg is 45-53 and Erie is 53-44. RH Michael Cuevas is on the mound for the Senators opposed by RH Ty Madden for Erie.
LAST TIME OUT: One day after routing the SeaWolves, Erie returned the favor and routed the Senators 12-4. Harrisburg trailed 1-0 into the third when they scored four runs, two coming on a mammoth two-run home run by James Wood to give the Sens a 4-1 lead. At that point, it looked the Sens were off and running again. But Erie put an end to that by scoring in every inning from the fourth to the eighth, tallying 11 runs over the five innings to put the game away. Trey Lipscomb was a bright spot for the Sens with three hits.
UPCOMING DOCKET: After this six-game series in Erie, the Senators return home to face the Akron RubberDucks next week. It's the only visit this season by the RubberDucks to FNB Field. Their remaining schedule is this week at Erie; home vs Akron; at Richmond; home vs Reading; at Binghamton & Altoona; home vs Bowie. Including today, the Senators have 41 games remaining this season.
