Manchester, NH - Logan Warmoth and Chad Spanberger each knocked in runs for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Toronto Blue Jays Double-A affiliate), but the Trenton Thunder (New York Yankees) pulled away late for a 5-2 win on Sunday afternoon at Delta Dental Stadium.

Warmoth, the 22nd overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, went 3-for-9 with 2 RBIs in the series.

Trenton took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second. Alvarez led off the inning with his fourth home run of the season. Brandon Wagner doubled and scored on a single by Matt Lipka.

The Fisher Cats drew even in the bottom half with a pair of runs. Nash Knight and Riley Adams were each hit by a pitch and Alberto Mineo singled to load the bases. An RBI single by Warmoth was followed by a sacrifice fly from Spanberger to make it 2-2.

Trenton pushed across three runs in the top of the eighth inning to earn the win. Ben Ruta walked and Chris Gittens reached on an infield single. After an RBI double by Alvarez, Wagner knocked in two with single to put the Thunder up 5-2. Danny Young (L, 0-1) took the loss for New Hampshire (1-4).
