PORTLAND DROPS TWO MORE The Sea Dogs fell to the Yard Goats in the continuation of the suspended game, 9-2 then were shutout 4-0 in the regularly scheduled game. Corey Rosier blasted a two-run homer to avoid the shutout in the continuation. RHP Reidis Sena tossed 3.0 perfect innings in the regularly scheduled game, but the offense fell flat and was shutout for the third time this year.

MOVE OVER SHOHEI Entering the ninth inning, the Sea Dogs were trailling 8-2. Manager Chad Epperson then called on designated hitter Drew Ehrhard to finish the game for Portland. Ehrhard tossed 1.0 inning allowing one run on two hits. He did not issue a walk or record a strikeout. At the plate, he was one-for-four with a double and a strikeout. The last time a position player pitched for the Sea Dogs was Matt Donlan who threw 1.0 inning June 19, 2024 vs Richmond. He issued one walk and gave up a hit, but did not allow a run.

SENA WAS PERFECTION RHP Reidis Sena was perfect on the mound for the Sea Dogs throwing 3.0 perfect innings with three strikeouts. In his last five outings, Sena is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA.
