HARTFORD- As it turns out, the Hartford Yard Goats were a smash hit on the field and at the gate in their 2019 home finale. Banging out a franchise-record 19 hits, including four home runs that tied a single-game franchise mark, the Yard Goats took the measure of the Harrisburg Senators, 10-4, Thursday night at Dunkin' Donuts Park, before a standing-room-only crowd of 6,850. Hartford took four of five games in the series from playoff bound Harrisburg (30-35). The Yard Goats finished with a home record of 38-32.
Attendance records fell for the Yard Goats in their home finale. The sellout was the club's 51st of the season, a record, as was the 29th consecutive sellout. The standing-room-only crowd was the 29th of the season, another club record. The Yard Goats' total 2019 attendance of 414,946 also established a new club record. The Yard Goats will lead the Eastern League in attendance and in per game average. It is also the second consecutive season Hartford has surpassed the 400,000 mark in season attendance, a record for a Connecticut sports franchise.
