The Somerset Patriots were defeated 10-4 by the Erie SeaWolves on Friday night at UPMC Park in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The Patriots have lost five of their last six games for the first time this season.
RHP Gray Fenter (4.2 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 5 K) gave up four unearned runs in the second inning and was tagged with the loss, as the Patriots could not rebound from the game’s initial deficit.
LF Everson Pereira (1-for-5, RBI, R, HR) smashed his seventh home run of the season to extend his season-long hit streak to nine consecutive games.
3B Tyler Hardman (2-for-5, 2 RBI) brought home the Patriots’ final two runs of the night in his sixth multi-RBI game of the season, which ties for the most of any Patriot.
LF Jasson Dominguez (1-for-2, RBI, 3 BB) reached base four times and brought home the Patriots’ first run on an RBI-single in the third inning.
Dominguez walked three times in the game, now totaling 36 walks on the season to lead the Eastern League.
