Fisher Cats lose a wild one to Richmond in 13th

Richmond closed out a wild 13th inning with a pair of runs in a come-from-behind 3-2 win against the struggling New Hampshire Fisher Cats in Eastern League baseball action in Richmond, Va., on Thursday.

The Flying Squirrels loaded the bases with no outs and down a run against reliever Fernando Hernandez. After a line out, Ehire Adrianza scored on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Cavan. Gary Brown singled to reload the bases before Nick Liles singled home Juan Perez with the game-winner.

New Hampshire looked like it would end its six-game losing streak when Brad McElroy scored on a wild pitch in the top of the 13th inning to put the Fisher Cats ahead 2-1. Richmond’s comeback dropped the Fisher Cats to 22-42 on the season.

Both pitching staffs combined for nine scoreless innings after Richmond’s Ryan Cavan hit his fifth homer of the season in the third inning to tie the game at 1-1.

New Hampshire had taken a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Ryan Goins singled home Gabe Jacobo, who earlier had singled.

Matt Daly and Scott Gracey combined for six shutout innings in relief of Fisher Cats starter Chad Jenkins, who allowed four hits and struck out four in six innings. Hernandez allowed six hits in 1 2/3 innings to take the loss and fall to 0-4. Edwin Quirarte pitched 2/3 of an inning to earn his first win of the season.

The Flying Squirrels won their fourth straight game.
