The Portland Sea Dogs "kind of slept through the game offensively," according to manager Arnie Beyeler, as the Sea Dogs dropped a 6-3 decision to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats here at Merchantsauto.com Stadium.
Portland managed only four hits but still had the go-ahead run at the plate in the ninth inning.
Down 6-1, the Sea Dogs scored twice in the ninth on three walks, an infield error and a hit-batter (Ray Chang). But with the bases loaded an no outs, reliever Alan Farina struck out Jorge Padron, Ryan Khoury and Chih-Hsien Chiang.
Kyle Weiland pitched well with his start (5 IP, 6 H, 2 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 3 K). Reliever Ryne Miller gave up four in the seventh on a solo home run and then a three-run blast by Eric Thames.
The Sea Dogs' first run came in the second. Ryan Lavarnway doubled, went to third on Chang's single and scored when Padron grounded into a double play.
Chang may be out for the rest of the season. He was hit on the hand and will go for X-rays Monday.
The Sea Dogs will complete their season with an eight-game home stand, starting Monday night at 7.
