Harrisburg Senators News Release
Unfortunately for the Harrisburg Senators, two for Tuesday took on a different meaning for them on Tuesday night as they were swept in two games by the New Britain Rock Cats. The Rock Cats took game one, the completion of the suspended game 3-1 and then took game two 8-1.
Game one started on Tuesday night, but was suspended in the top of the 2nd inning. When the game resumed, RH Brad Peacock was on the mound for Harrisburg and RH David Bromberg for New Britain. The Rock Cats plated two runs in the fifth, then tacked on another in the seventh to take a 3-0 lead into the last of the ninth. The Senators put the first two men on base, but couldn't come up with much needed hits though they scored a run on a wild pitch and passed ball.
In game two, New Britain broke the game open in the third inning with five runs off of spot starter Jimmy Barthmaier. The Sens scored their two runs on a two-run single by Buck Coats in the sixth.
With the doubleheader loss the Sens are now 2-3 on the season while the Rock Cats improve to 4-2.
The final game of the series and opening homestand is Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. Harrisburg sends RH Brad Meyers to the mound against RH Deolis Guerra for New Britain. The game can be heard on 1460am The Ticket and over the Internet beginning at 6:45 p.m.
