LAST NIGHT
The Fisher Cats’ losing skid fell to four games after a 10-2 loss to Erie on Thursday night. New Hampshire took an early lead in the bottom of the second inning on Jackson Hornung’s fifth Double-A homer, a 404-foot bomb to make it 1-0. The Fisher Cats’ second and final run came across in the bottom of the third inning when Jacob Sharp doubled and scored on Charles McAdoo’s two-out single.
Erie plated nine runs across the top of the third, fourth and fifth innings to hand New Hampshire a 10-2 loss.
New Hampshire’s Sharp and McAdoo each recorded two-hit games and accounted for four of the Cats’ five hits. Sharp went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and McAdoo posted his 21st two-hit game of the season.
Fisher Cats starter Grant Rogers (L, 6-8) took the loss after surrendering a career-high seven earned runs on nine hits over 4-1/3 innings pitched.
Erie’s Carlos Peña (W, 6-6) collected the win by holding New Hampshire to two hits and striking out six over four scoreless innings of relief.

His last time out was on August 23 in Akron, where the right-hander tossed 5-1/3 innings pitched and allowed four runs on four hits with two walks and five strikeouts. The Antilla, Cuba native, is in his second season with the Fisher Cats after joining New Hampshire at the end of the 2024 campaign. Sánchez was called up from High-A Vancouver on July 30 before pitching to a 2.28 earned run average over four starts with New Hampshire in August. He made one start against the SeaWolves on August 10, when Sánchez fired 6-2/3 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and two hits in New Hampshire’s 3-0 win over Erie in Manchester.
