SeaWolves Blast Five Homers to Sink Goats   
Hartford, CT- The Erie SeaWolves cranked five home runs and defeated the Hartford Yard Goats by the score of 12-0 on Tuesday night at Dunkin' Donuts Park.

Dominic Ficociello capped the frame with a two-run homerun.
Erie cranked two more homers in the fifth inning with shots from Jake Rogers and Jacob Robson and another blast in the ninth from Rogers.
