Binghamton 7 New Hampshire 6
The Fisher Cats' woes continue allow they were a little more competitive in this game. Randy Boone received the start and allowed four runs (two earned) in 5.0 innings of work. He gave up five hits, no walks and struck out three. Danny Farquhar struck out three batters in 1.1 innings of work but he blew the save with one run allowed on three hits. Aaron Loup was tagged for two unearned runs in two-thirds of an inning. Ron Uviedo worked the final two innings and did not allow a hit, a walk or a run. He struck out three batters. At the plate Mark Sobolewski hit his eighth home run in 113 at-bats (He had that many last year in 400 ABs) and he's now two taters away from his career high. Unfortunately he made two errors in the field at third base. Brian Van Kirk went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI. Justin Jackson had two hits at the bottom of the order.
