Strong Series for New Hampshire Ends in Sunday Split

MANCHESTER, NH – A two-run home run from Eddie Micheletti Jr. highlighted a Sunday split, as the New Hampshire Fisher Cats took the first game, 4-3, and dropped the second game to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, 3-0. Despite two runs in the top of the ninth for the Rumble Ponies, New Hampshire (15-10) hung on to win the resumption of yesterday’s suspension, a game that was paused in the bottom of the fourth to inclement weather. Binghamton (10-17) handed the Fisher Cats their first shutout loss in the season in the series finale.
