MANCHESTER – The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (6-5) defeated the Harrisburg Senators (6-8) at Delta Dental Stadium on Saturday, 4-2. Right fielder Yohendrick Piñango went 4-for-4 and reached base five times.
After a lead-off triple from Piñango in the bottom of the seventh, left fielder Jace Bohrofen extended his hit streak to five games by plating Piñango to take a 3-2 lead. Second baseman Eddinson Paulino knocked his first New Hampshire homer of 2025 in the Saturday win, as well.
Starter Rafael Sanchez allowed hits in each of his five innings pitched but only surrendered two earned runs. Relievers Grayson Thurman, Conor Larkin (W, 2-0) and Jonathan Lavallee (S, 1) combined for the final four scoreless frames.
Harrisburg loaded the bases in the top of the first but only plated one run on a sacrifice fly from Harrisburg third baseman Cayden Wallace. New Hampshire promptly responded with a Piñango run-scoring single to even Saturday’s game at 1-1.
After a Harrisburg solo home run in the top of the fifth, New Hampshire second baseman Eddinson Paulino blasted his first homer of the season to match the Senators at 2-2.
New Hampshire added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth on Piñango single with the bases loaded, which brought the mark to 4-2.
