Bichette's Three-Knock Night Not Enough

TRENTON, NJ
[6/29/18] - Bo Bichette slugged his eighth home run of the year as part of a three-hit night, but the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays) squandered a late opportunity and lost 7-6 in ten innings to the Thunder Pork Roll at ARM & HAMMER Park Friday night.Trailing 2-0 in the fourth, New Hampshire scratched one across to cut the Trenton lead in half. Bo Bichette doubled, Cavan Biggio walked and Harold Ramirez was hit by a pitch to load the bases before Max Pentecost plated a run with a sacrifice fly to right field, making it 2-1 Pork Roll through four.The Pork Roll scored three in the fifth to take a four-run lead. They plated their runs with two hits - highlighted by an RBI double from Billy Fleming - a walk, a hit batsman and a sacrifice fly to go up 5-1.Ramirez slugged his fourth home run of the year in the sixth - a two-out, two-run blast to right field that brought New Hampshire within two - and a Gunnar Heidt sac fly in the seventh made it 5-4.After Trenton went up 6-4 with a run in the bottom of the seventh, Bichette's third hit of the game came in a big way. The #2 Blue Jays prospect launched a game-tying blast to left field in the eighth, bringing the 'Cats even with the Pork Roll at six runs apiece.A missed opportunity for the Fisher Cats in the top of the tenth (the bases were loaded with one out but they failed to score) set up a game-winning infield single for Mandy Alvarez that came with runners at the corners and one out in the home half of the innings as the Pork Roll walked off 7-6 in ten stanzas.The series continues tomorrow night at ARM & HAMMER Park. RHP Jordan Romano (8-3, 4.08 ERA) will go for the 'Cats while RHP Michael King (1-1, 2.37 ERA) is set to start for the Thunder.
