The New Hampshire Fisher Cats defeated the Hartford Yard Goats, 4-1, in Eastern League action at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. New Hampshire pitcher Mike Balson had a standout performance. Tommy Redmon recorded his 3rd save for New Hampshire. The second-place Fisher Cats lifted their record to 56-36.

Gene Pruner had a big solo home run for the Fisher Cats in the bottom of the sixth inning. With New Hampshire leading 2-1 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Doug Hooper and punished it. The result was his 14th home run of the season, which put the Fisher Cats on top, 3-1.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said New Hampshire manager Robert Rodriguez.
