Hunter Dobbins pitched five hitless innings, and a three-run fourth inning was enough for the Portland Sea Dogs in a 3-0 Eastern League win Saturday night against the Somerset Patriots at Bridgewater, New Jersey.
Dobbins (7-3) struck out six and walked one in a 71-pitch outing. Alex Hoppe and Felix Cepeda each pitched two innings to close out a two-hitter.
It was the third straight win for the Sea Dogs, who were held to just four hits. Neither starting pitcher allowed a hit until the fourth, when Roman Anthony drew a leadoff walk, went to third on a single by Marcelo Mayer and scored on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Teel. Blaze Jordan reached on an error that put runners on second and third, and Tyler McDonough drove them both in with a single.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
