Manchester, NH
[6/10/18] - Led by Bo Bichette's three hits and three stolen bases, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays Double-A affiliate) recorded the 1,000th regular season win in franchise history, 7-5 over the Bowie Baysox (Baltimore Orioles) on Sunday afternoon at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.Bichette, the No. 9 prospect in baseball according to MLB.com, went 3-for-4 with three singles, three stolen bases, two RBIs and a walk. The 20-year-old now has four multi-hit games in the last six days, and leads the league with 20 stolen bases.Jonathan Davis recorded his first four-hit game of the season, including a leadoff walk and three leadoff singles. Davis now has a .466 on-base percentage when batting at the start of an inning.The Baysox started the game with three singles to load the bases, but Justin Dillon (W, 1-1) allowed just one run on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Mountcastle. Dillon finished after five innings, allowing only two earned runs (three unearned) on five hits with a walk and a strikeout.The Fisher Cats turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead with Cavan Biggio's two-run double in the bottom of the first, and never surrendered the advantage. Bichette made it 3-1 with an RBI single in the third, and New Hampshire added four in the fourth to build a sizeable cushion.After Aderlin Rodriguez hit a solo shot for Bowie to narrow the gap to 3-2 in the fourth, the Fisher Cats made it 7-2 with a two-run double from Jon Berti and RBI singles from Bichette and Max Pentecost in the bottom half.Bowie crept back with three runs in the sixth, but the score stayed at 7-5 the rest of the way, thanks to scoreless relief pitching from Nick Hartman (H, 1), Travis Bergen (H, 1) and Jose Fernandez (S, 1).After a 3-3 homestand, the Fisher Cats hit the road for their longest trip of the season, featuring three games against the Akron RubberDucks, Altoona Curve and Erie SeaWolves. ►
