Manchester - Gunnar Heidt homered and drove in four runs and Sean Reid-Foley picked up his sixth win as the New Hampshire Fisher Cats topped the Portland Sea Dogs 10-3 on Sunday afternoon at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

Jonathan Davis walked to start the game and Richard Ureña followed with a single. Danny Jansen knocked in a run with a single. Ryan McBroom was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Tim Lopes walked. Gunnar Heidt's double made it 4-0.
Portland (43-47) cut the lead to 4-2 in the top of the fourth inning. Danny Mars singled and Cole Sturgeon doubled. Mars scored on a sacrifice fly by Michael Chavis and Jeremy Barfield knocked in a run with a groundout.
The Fisher Cats tacked on three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Derrick Loveless delivered a two-run single and Jonathan Davis knocked in a run with his first hit of the game.
Portland's Michael Chavis homered to make it 7-3 in the top of the sixth inning.
