Harrisburg got off to a hot start against Erie starter Wilkel Hernandez. Hernandez allowed five singles and three runs in the first inning. Yohandy Morales, Dérmis Garcia, and Cody Wilson had RBI singles. Harrisburg led 3-0. Hernandez, who threw 31 pitches, did not return for the second inning.
The Senators added to their lead in the fourth against Erie reliever Calvin Coker. Cortland Lawson led off the inning with a double. He scored on J.T. Arruda's RBI single, which made it 4-0.
