NH Fisher Cats 7-2 Loss Vs. Reading Fightin Phils, 5/2/17.

Fisher Cats Victimized in Series Game 2
Cats see no-hits until the seventh in 7-2 loss against Fightin' Phils.

Reading, PA [May 2, 2017] The NH Fisher Cats were victimized by superb starting pitching for the second time on the road trip, as the 'Cats were held hitless until the seventh in a 7-2 loss against the Reading Fightin' Phils on Tuesday night.

Reading struck first in the opening frame. Scott Kingery singled, stole second and advanced to third on a fly out. Carlos Tocci brought him home with an RBI single to centerfield that made it 1-0 Fightin' Phils.

The Phillies affiliate added another two runs in the third. Kingery started the frame with a knock and scored when Andrew Pullin hit his sixth home run of 2017 to give Reading the 3-0 advantage. Reading would pad their lead in the sixth, adding two runs on three hits and a sacrifice fly to go up 6-0.

Fightin' Phils starter Tom Eshelman was excellent in his fifth outing of the season. The right-hander held the 'Cats hitless for the first six innings before giving up a lead-off triple to Tim Lopes to start the seventh. Lopes would score on a Richard Urena groundout in the next at-bat to end the shutout and bring the tally to 6-1.

Reading put another run on the board in the seventh via a Jiandido Tromp homer and the Fisher Cats added a score in the ninth but fell 7-2.

The series wraps up Wednesday morning at FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading.
