Scott Diamond gave the Bisons another very strong start, pitching seven innings of one-run ball and allowing just four hits to bring his ERA to 3.33. Franklin Morales followed with an inning of rehab work (1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 K) and Ryan Tepera handled the final frame (1.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER).
Darrell Ceciliani led the offence going 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Jesus Montero added an RBI of his own, going 2-for-5 with a pair of singles. Andy Burns and David Adams collected a stolen base each.
New Hampshire Fisher Cats (37-47) – 4
Portland Sea Dogs (30-53) – 3
Shane Opitz’s first home run of the season, a two-run shot in the fourth, was the difference.
