New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release


MANCHESTER, N.H. - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats' (Blue Jays Double-A affiliate) most anticipated homestand of the season has arrived at Delta Dental Stadium, featuring a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. bobblehead giveaway on Wednesday, an autograph session with the stars of North Woods Law: New Hampshire on Thursday, Christmas in July with the Human Cannonball on Friday, a Star Wars Night doubleheader on Saturday, and The Masked Singer on Sunday.

The Fisher Cats will kick off the homestand with a three-game series against the Harrisburg Senators (Washington Nationals), who clinched a playoff berth with a first half title in the western division.

Harrisburg's talented roster includes Dante Bichette Jr. -- the older brother of 2018 Fisher Cats star Bo Bichette -- and 20-year-old SS Luis Garcia, the No. 2 prospect in the Nationals system (MLB.com) and the youngest player to appear in last season's MLB All-Star Futures Game.

After three games with the Senators, the first-place Reading Fightin Phils (Philadelphia Phillies) come to town. Following a four-game series split with the Fisher Cats this past weekend, Reading boasts the best overall record in the Eastern League at 59-39.

The Fightin Phils are led by top prospect Alec Bohm, the third overall pick in last year's MLB Draft. The No. 37 prospect in baseball (MLB.com) has hit seven home runs in his first 24 Double-A games. Bohm went deep twice against the Fisher Cats on Saturday, the first multi-homer game of his career.

New Hampshire returns home after scoring a season-high 16 runs in Sunday's blowout win in Reading. Top offensive prospect Kevin Smith went 3-for-5 and belted another home run. He's gone deep in six of his last nine games, and leads the Fisher Cats with 14 homers this season. Blue Jays top pitching prospect Nate Pearson is scheduled to start on Wednesday.
