(Portland, ME) - A walk-off home run from Tyler Miller in the bottom of the ninth led the Portland Sea Dogs (11-6) to a 2-1 win over the Reading Fightin Phils (5-14) on Friday night from Delta Dental Park. With the win, Portland clinches this week's series as they lead it 4-0.
It was a pitchers' duel for most of the night as Gabe Mosser started for Reading and allowed no-earned runs over six innings, while striking out a Reading-season-high 10 batters. On the other side, David Sandlin, allowed one-earned run over 4.1 innings of work.
The Fightin Phils scored their lone run in the top of the fourth when Trent Farquhar singled home Keaton Anthony to make it 1-0. Portland responded with a single from Miller scoring Jhostynxon Garcia in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game at one.
From there, the game stayed knotted into the ninth inning. Jack Dallas tossed two scoreless innings for Reading and Jack Anderson matched him with 2.2 scoreless frames. Reidis Sena (W, 2-0) did not allow a run over the final two innings for Portland. Gunner Mayer (L, 0-1) faced just one batter, allowing the walk-off home run to Miller in the bottom of the ninth.
