The Fisher Cats (50-56) tacked on a run in the top of the fourth inning. Newman doubled, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-0 New Hampshire.

The lead ballooned to 5-0 in the top of the fifth. Derrick Chung singled and scored on a double by K. C. Hobson (3-for-4). Jorge Flores singled and stole second. Jon Berti then delivered a two-run single off Harrisburg starter James Simmons (LP: 2-1).
