Second verse, same as the first.

New Hampshire 0 at Trenton 1 (12 innings)

Another strong pitching performance, another heartbreak, as New Hampshire has now not scored in 21 innings against Trenton, falling behind 2-0 in their best of 7 series as it heads to the Live Free or Die state. Zach Stewart was the starter for the Jays in this one and he was magnificent, pitching 7 scoreless innings and allowing only 4 baserunners - 3 hits and a walk. He recorded 10 of his 21 outs via the strikeout and another 10 via the groundball, allowing only a single flyout. Danny Farquhar also contributed a scoreless 2 innings of relief, walking 2 and striking out 3 with 2 hits. Meanwhile Trystan Magnuson set down 4 of the the first 8 batters he faced via the strikeout, allowing one hit, before the 9th batter homered off him to win the game with 1 out in the 12th.

As you might imagine, scoring 0 runs didn't lead to many first class performances on the hitting side of the ledger. Darin Mastroianni doubled while Adam Loewen doubled and walked and Adeiny Hechavarria singled and walked.New Hampshire had the leadoff runner on first in the 9th and 12th and on second in the 10th but obviously manged nothing.
