The Somerset Patriots split their double header with the Harrisburg Senators at FNB Field in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Saturday night, winning the first game by a score of 3-2 and losing the second game by a score of 9-5.

After winning the first game of the double header, the Patriots had their season-high win streak of five games snapped in game two.

Somerset is now 6-2 in eight games vs. Harrisburg this season.

RHP Clayton Beeter (4.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 H, 5 BB, 6 K) started the first game for the Patriots and did not factor into a decision.

RHP Gray Fenter (2.2 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 5 K) started the second game for the Patriots and did not factor into a decision, leaving early with an apparent leg injury.

CF Brandon Lockridge (3-for-3, RBI, BB, R, 2 SB) scored the game-winning run in the top of the sixth inning of the first game. After a single by Tyler Hardman with the score tied at 2-2, Lockridge pinch-ran, stole second and came home on an RBI single by T.J. Rumfield.

In the second game of the double header, Lockridge started in center field, going 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two triples. Lockridge is the first Patriot to triple twice in a game this season.

With stolen bases in both ends of the double header, Lockridge now leads the Eastern League with 10 stolen bases this season.

2B Max Burt (3-for-6, RBI, BB) was the only player to collect a hit in both ends of the double header, while he added his team-leading 14th RBI of the season in game two.

DH Ben Rortvedt (1-for-3, RBI, R, 2B) started game one on an MLB rehab assignment for the Yankees, doubling in the first run of the day in the first inning.
