Trailing 3-1 in the seventh, New Hampshire scored five in the inning to take the lead for good. A Leo Jimenez RBI single up the middle made it a one-run game before Will Robertson lined a go-ahead grand slam to right-field with two outs off Harrisburg right-hander Jack Sinclair (0-2). It’s Robertson’s first 4-RBI game at the Double-A level and his first grand slam as a professional.
