Senators Split DH at Richmond

Wallace Homers in Senators 8-2 Loss in Game One at Richmond

The Harrisburg Senators fell behind Saturday afternoon and couldn’t recover, dropping game one of their doubleheader 8-2 to the Richmond Flying Squirrels at The Diamond.

Harrisburg starter Kyle Luckham cruised through the first three innings but ran into trouble in the fourth. After Richmond loaded the bases, Sabin Ceballos cleared them with a three-run double to break a scoreless tie. Moments later, Victor Bericoto launched a grand slam to left, capping a seven-run inning that put the Senators in a deep hole.

The Senators broke through in the sixth when Cayden Wallace drilled a two-run homer – his sixth of the season – to cut the deficit to 8-2. But Richmond’s bullpen held firm, and Harrisburg was unable to generate any further offense.

Senators Bounce Back to Split Doubleheader in Richmond

After a tough Game 1, the Harrisburg Senators responded in a big, topping the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-1 in the nightcap to split the doubleheader at The Diamond.

The Senators got on the board first in the 2nd inning when Delino DeShields Jr. singled and scored on Maxwell Romero Jr.’s RBI hit. Harrisburg then broke the game open in the 3rd with a four-run outburst. Phillip Glasser and Seaver King set the table with back-to-back singles before Cayden Wallace ripped a two-run double. Branden Boissiere followed with an RBI double of his own, and DeShields capped the rally with another run-scoring single to make it 5-0.

On the mound, Thomas Schultz and the Harrisburg bullpen delivered a shutdown performance. Schultz tossed two scoreless frames. Samuel Vasquez and Erick Mejia kept Richmond off balance the rest of the way. Vasquez earned the win, his first with the Senators.

Boissiere had a big night at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs, while DeShields added three hits, two stolen bases, and drove in a pair.
