INSIDE THE BOX SCORE: The Portland Sea Dogs seven-game winning streak was snapped last night as New Hampshire downed Portland 9-2. Yusaku Iriki (1-3) got the win, allowing two runs in 5 innings of work. Chris Smith (3-5) got roughed up giving up 8 runs (7ER) in just 3 and 1/3 innings. The Fisher Cats belted out three home runs in the contest, including a 2-run homer by Chip Cannon during a 5-run 3rd. The Dogs had taken a 2-1 lead before New Hampshire's emphatic 3rd. Jed Lowrie got the Dogs half of the 3rd inning going by doubling to lead off the innings, and then scored on an error by the Fisher Cats shortstop. Andrew Pinckney would then single home Jeff Natale for Portland's second and final run of the game. The bullpen was once again phenomenal for the Sea Dogs as Beau Vaughan, Lincoln Holdzkom and Mike James fired 4 and 2/3 innings allowing one unearned run.
