The Harrisburg Senators finished off their three-game sweep of the Trenton Thunder on Saturday night with an 8-2 win. The Senators combined outstanding pitching with solid hitting and won for the third straight game and fifth time in their last six starts.
Brad Meyers started and made it easy on the offense, allowing just two runs and striking out ten for the second time this year. Meyers has yet to walk a batter in four outings this season. He struck out two batters in an inning on four separate occasions. Cory VanAllen and Ryan Mattheus went the final two and a third innings and combined to strike out four.
Offensively the Senators were led by Archie Gilbert. Gilbert had four hits, one his first home run on the season, scored four runs, and drove in two as he raised his batting average about 90 points.
