Miscellaneous Notes

Last Game... For the third straight game, the Sens jumped out in front by at least two runs, but that didn't matter as they fell to Erie 7-4. The four-game sweep was the second four-game road sweep since the beginning of July. Seth Bynum had a two-out two-run single in the second to give the Sens a 2-0 lead. In the top of the fifth, after Erie had taken a 3-2 lead, Javi Herrera hit a two-out two-run home run to put the Sens on top 4-3. But the bullpen couldn't hold the lead and Erie scored four times in the sixth inning for the win. Bynum, Roger Bernadina, Dan Dement and Marco Yepez all had two hits in the ballgame. It was the sixth straight game Dement has had two hits in.

Tonight's Game... Tonight is the first of a three-game series between the Senators and New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The Senators play New Hampshire for three games then this weekend welcome in the Portland Sea Dogs. This is the first meeting between the teams this season.
