W: S. Richmond (5-8, 4.92); L: K. Aselton (3-2, 5.03); SV: Z. Dials (10)
HR: None.
Kyle Aselton's second AA start went some what better than the first, but he still ended up taking the loss as the New Hampshire Fisher Cats doubled up the New Britain Rock Cats, 4-2.
Jacob Butler and Ryan Patterson both singled to start off the top of the 2nd. Scott Campbell then took a walk off Aselton to load the bags. Eric Nielsen would single out to left to bring in two. The New Britain lefty then got Ryan Klosterman and Chris Gutierrez out on strikes before Aaron Mathews singled to score Campbell. Nielsen would be taken out at second on the throw to retire the side without further damage.
The top of the fourth saw Campbell take a walk, and Nielson double for the visitors. Campbell would try to come home but would be taken out at the plate. Ryan Klosterman then singled to plate Nielson for the fourth Fisher Cats run.
Brock Peterson would draw a walk in the bottom of the 4th, then move to 2nd on an Erik Lis ground out. Following a fly out to Danny Valencia, Dustin Martin singled out to right to drive in Peterson. Aselton would work 5 inning allowing all four runs on 8 hits and a pair of walks while striking out 7.
Frank Mata and Armando Gabino worked an inning each, with Mata allowing a pair of hits, and Gabino one hit while fanning 2. Rob Delaney would finish up the last 2, allowing only 1 hit and walking 1 while striking out 1.
Scott Richmond worked 7 innings for the Fisher Cats allowing only the one run on 3 hits and 3 walks while striking out 5. Daryl Harang would strike out Felix Molina and Peterson in the bottom of the 8th.
Lis would lead off the bottom of the 9th with a walk, and Valencia singled out to center. A wild pitch moved Lis to 3rd. Dustin Martin would strike out before Zachary Dials came in to replace Harang. David Winfree singled to score Lis but Toby Gardenhire would ground out and Drew Butera would strike out, cutting the rally attempt short for the host Rock Cats.
Five different Cats singled for New Britain who was held largely offenseless in the contest.
The two teams rematch tomorrow a New Britain Stadium. Former Dunedin Blue Jay Rob Ray (2-0, 1.29) will take the start against Jeff Manship (0-1, 11.25), who will look to redeem himself after a very tough first AA outing.
