In the third inning, Bichette led off with a single to center, but wound up stranded at third base. Following a flyout to center in the fifth, Berti and Bichette came through again. New Hampshire's left fielder opened the seventh with a triple to center and baseball's No. 9 overall prospect brought him home on an infield single to third.
In the eighth, Bichette walked for his final time aboard.
After hitting for the cycle earlier in the week, Berti fell a homer short of accomplishing the feat again.
Bichette, who was named to the Arizona Fall League on Thursday, has walked six times in his last six games. The shortstop has multiple hits in six of his last seven contests, boosting his average from .277 on Aug. 22 to .289.
