PORTLAND, ME – The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (7-7) were outscored by the Portland Sea Dogs (8-4) Saturday afternoon at Hadlock

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (7-5) couldn’t keep the pace of the Portland Sea Dogs (6-4) at Hadlock Field Thursday afternoon, falling 3-0. Fisher Cats starter Michael Dominguez struck out nine batters and allowed three hits in his five scoreless innings.

For me, there’s nothing comparable to watching live baseball. It’s a simple, meditative pleasure. It’s also a sensory experience. Bats crack, leather snaps, crowds rise to cheer. Fresh grass, hot dogs, popcorn, beer. 

All series long, the Somerset Patriots (4-5) powered their offense with the long ball. Sunday, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (6-3) showed some pop of their own, clubbing four homers in a 13-9 victory at Delta Dental Stadium. New Hampshire took its fourth of the six-game set, winning the series.

Fans returned to Delta Dental Stadium to celebrate the 20th season of Fisher Cats baseball, and the New Hampshire (3-1) offense brought the juice in an 8-2 win over the Somerset Patriots (2-2) Tuesday night. Five of New Hampshire’s eight runs came in the bottom of the first.

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (2-1) took down the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (1-2) with an 8-4 final on Sunday afternoon at Mirabito Stadium.
