The Blue Jays minor league season ended with a whimper last night. The Fisher Cats were eliminated in three straight games to mirror the Dunedin Jays who were swept in two straight. New Hampshire were unable to score until the ninth inning of game three, they had 29 scoreless innings in the series up to that point.
Trenton 8 New Hampshire 1 - Trenton wins series 3-0.
The Fisher Cats had some base runners but most were eliminated on the bases. Through seven innings the Cats had eight base runners of whom six were eliminated. Trenton turned four double plays and Darin Mastroianni was twice thrown out trying to steal.
Scott Richmond started and allowed two home runs through seven innings. Trenton's Rene Rivera, who played in the major leagues in 2005 and 2006, hit a home run for the third straight game. In the eighth Alan Farina gave up a one out line drive single and then the Fisher Cats collapsed. Two fielders choices without an out plated one run, an infield single loaded the bases, a walk scored run number two of the inning, a ground ball single scored a third run, and a ground out scored the fourth run of the inning.
In the bottom of the ninth inning Adeiny Hechavarria led off with a double. With two outs and the season almost over, David Cooper doubled to score a run but that was all.
Mastroianni and Thames had two hits each. Cooper hit .400 in the series, Mastroianni hit .308 and Hechavarria .250.
It was a good run, while it lasted.
