Senators Stymied by Early Long Balls in 4-1 Loss to Reading
June 5, 2025 - Eastern League (EL)
Harrisburg Senators News Release
A pair of early home runs proved too much for the Harrisburg Senators to overcome Wednesday night, as they fell 4-1 to the Reading Fightin Phils at FNB Field.
Reading opened the scoring in the third on a two-run homer by Cade Fergus, then tacked on a third run later that inning before Leandro Pineda launched a solo shot in the fourth to make it 4-0.
Harrisburg's offense was held in check for much of the game but broke through in the eighth when Carlos De La Cruz drove in Phillip Glasser with a two-out RBI single. Glasser had doubled earlier in the frame, while Jacob Young, with the Senators on a MLB rehab assignment, went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, and strong play in center field.
Starter Tyler Stuart took the loss, allowing four runs across 3.2 innings. Relievers Thomas Schultz, Chance Huff, and Daison Acosta combined to shut out Reading over the final 5.1 innings.
