Harrisburg Senators News Release


The Harrisburg Senators thrilled the home crowd Thursday night with a dramatic 3-2 walk-off win over the Reading Fightin Phils at FNB Field.

After trading early blows, the game remained locked in a 2-2 tie into the ninth. Murphy Stehly led off the bottom of the inning with a single to right, and Maxwell Romero Jr. followed with a clutch line-drive double to score Stehly and send the Senators home winners.

The Senators struck first in the third when Johnathon Thomas was hit by a pitch, stole two bases, and scored on Seaver King's RBI single. King later crossed the plate on a wild pitch, giving the Sens a 2-0 lead.

Reading answered in the fourth with a two-run homer off the bat of Keaton Anthony, knotting the game at two. But from there, Harrisburg's bullpen held firm. Dustin Saenz and Junior Santos combined for four scoreless innings, and the defense turned a critical double play in the ninth to keep the game tied.

Romero's game-winning hit was his ninth double of the season and gave the Senators a well-earned victory in front of a lively home crowd.

It was the Senators third walk-off win in the series this week.
