PORTLAND, ME - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (5-7, 34-47) plated four runs in the top of the fifth and three in the eighth to take down the Portland Sea Dogs (4-8, 38-41) at Hadlock Field on Sunday, 10-5. Fisher Cats third baseman Charles McAdoo and first baseman Peyton Williams each crushed homers as the Cats toppled the Sea Dogs to win this week's series, four games to two, and split the season series with Portland, nine games to nine.
New Hampshire scratched across four runs in the top of the fifth inning, which was kickstarted by McAdoo's fourth homer of the week to tie the game at 3-3. The Cats then loaded the bases on a single and a pair of walks to force Portland starter Connelly Early (L, 6-2) out of the game. Catcher Jacob Sharp welcomed Portland's Noah Song into the game with a single to plate two runs to give New Hampshire a 5-3 lead. The Cats added one more run on pinch-hitter Alex Stone's single to make it 6-3 after four-and-a-half innings.
