Isaac Coffey took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and the Portland Sea Dogs kept their Eastern League playoff hopes alive with a 4-2 win Saturday night against the Binghamton Rumble Ponies at Hadlock Field.
Coffey (11-4) finished with 10 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. Alex Hoppe pitched the final 3 1/3 innings, allowing two runs with two outs in the ninth.
Blaze Jordan paced the offense, going 3 for 3 with two RBI.
Portland remained a half-game behind the Somerset Patriots in the Northeast Division second-half standings, which means the Sea Dogs need a win Sunday combined with a Somerset loss to qualify for the playoffs.

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.
