HARRISBURG, PA - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays) split a doubleheader with the Harrisburg Senators (Nationals) Sunday afternoon, taking game one 6-1 before falling 2-1 on a walk-off single in the second contest.

GAME ONE

Cavan Biggio started the scoring for the 'Cats in the opening stanza. The Houston, Texas native went deep to right field with a runner on first and two outs, his league-leading tenth home run of the season.

Harrisburg would get one back in the bottom of the inning, but New Hampshire led 2-1 until the seventh, when the Fisher Cats plated four runs on four hits to lead by five and eventually win 6-1.

GAME TWO

21st overall pick T.J. Zeuch made his second career Double-A start and limited the Senators to one run on four hits over six innings of work. The one run he allowed came on a home run in the second, but the right-hander kept Harrisburg off the board for the remainder of his outing to keep New Hampshire close.

The 'Cats tied it in the sixth after loading the bases with no outs, and Biggio plated the lone run of the game for Blue Jays affiliate with a sacrifice fly to centerfield.

Tied 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, the Senators put two men on thanks to a pair of walks then won the game on a two out RBI single from Yadiel Hernandez.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finished the day with four hits in seven trips and scored twice. Biggio went two for six with four RBI, Jonathan Davis collected three hits in game one and Connor Panas had two hits in the second game.

New Hampshire travels to Hartford for game one of three with the Yard Goats tomorrow night. RHP Jon Harris will go for the 'Cats while LHP Jack Wynkoop is on the bump for the 'Goats. Coverage begins at 6:45 p.m. with the Fisher Cats Pregame Show and continues with first pitch at 7:05 p.m. on the WGIR Fisher Cats Radio Network.
