Manchester, NH- Danny Perales went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored, and Shawn Bowman's RBI single extended his hitting streak to a season-high nine games, but a standing-room-only crowd of 7,617 saw Audy Ciriaco homer and drive in four runs as the Erie SeaWolves defeated the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, 8-2, on Saturday night at Merchantsauto.com Stadium.

The Fisher Cats (42-27) scored their two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning against Andy Oliver. Perales (2-for-2, BB) led off the stanza with a single, Darin Mastroianni (1-for-2, 2 BB, R) walked and a fly out advanced Perales to third. First baseman Ron Bourquin mishandled a pickoff attempt, allowing Perales to score and pushing Mastroianni to second. Bowman (1-for-4, RBI) then slapped a two-out single to left, plating Mastroianni and reducing Erie's lead to 4-2.

The SeaWolves (29-38) went ahead, 7-2, in the seventh when Ciriaco (2-for-5, HR, 4 RBI) took Boomer Potts opposite field for a three-run homer, his fifth.

Ciriaco's run-scoring single in the ninth off Vince Bongiovanni scored Justin Henry (2-for-3, 2B, 2 BB, 2 R, RBI) for the game's final run.

Erie took a 1-0 lead off Zach Stewart in the top of the first inning when Henry walked with two outs and scored when Ben Johnson (2-for-3, 2B, 2 BB, 3 RBI) doubled to right.

Henry's RBI double scored Andy Dirks, who singled, in the top of the third for a 2-0 advantage, and Stewart yielded a two-run single to Johnson in the fifth, building the 'Wolves' lead to 4-0.

Stewart (4-2) allowed four runs -three earned- on seven hits in six innings to suffer his first loss since April 15. The right-hander did manage a season-high seven strikeouts and walked four.

Oliver (6-4) notched the victory after going 6.2 innings, allowing two runs -one earned- on eight hits, with six strikeouts and two walks.

Luis Marte and Zach Simons combined for 2.1 innings of hitless relief for Erie.

The Fisher Cats wrap up their three-game series against the SeaWolves on Sunday afternoon with New Hampshire right-hander B.J. LaMura (1-0, 2.70) slated to oppose Erie left-hander Duane Below (2-6, 3.93) in a 1:35pm game.
