MANCHESTER — The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (12-17) fell to the Harrisburg Senators (17-12) Thursday at Delta Dental Stadium, 4-0.
The Cats managed only three hits against four Harrisburg pitchers.
New Hampshire starter Adam Macko (L, 0-2) struck out the side to start the contest and finished his five innings with seven strikeouts. Macko beat his previous total of six, which he’s reached twice this season, to set a new season-high. Harrisburg knocked two solo home runs off the southpaw, the first home runs he’s allowed this year.
The Fisher Cats offense threatened Senators starter Brad Lord (W, 2-1) in the bottom of the first with two in scoring position and one out, but Lord escaped the jam. The right-handed Lord proceeded to throw five more scoreless innings.
After Macko’s five innings, the Fisher Cats called on right-hander Adrian Hernandez from the bullpen; he pitched 1 2/3 innings and ceded a two-run home run in the top of the sixth. Lefties Ian Churchill and Jimmy Burnette finished the last 2 1/3 innings scoreless. Churchill tied his longest outing of the season (1 1/3 innings pitched). Burnette is the first New Hampshire arm to reach 10 appearances in 2024.
Shortstop Josh Kasevich, second baseman Michael Turconi and center fielder Garrett Spain picked up the three New Hampshire hits.
