(Reading, PA) - The Fightin Phils (20-25; 51-62) outhit the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (14-28; 44-66) in the series finale on Sunday. Reading took five out of six games this series and earned an 11-6 edge in the season series over New Hampshire.

RJ Schreck led off the game with a leadoff solo home run, on the game's first pitch. It was his third homer of the year.

Reading tied the game at one apiece as Carson Taylor blasted his 16th home run of the season in the bottom of the second inning. Schreck allowed the Fisher Cats to retake the lead in the top of the third as he tripled home Michael Turconi.

Eiberson Castellano had another strong performance on the mound, striking out ten batters through six innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits and walking one. Behind him, Nelson Alvarez and Tommy McCollum pitched three scoreless frames and struck out four.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Fightins took a 3-2 lead thanks to two RBI doubles by Caleb Ricketts and Cade Fergus. Fergus went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the contest. In the bottom of the eighth, Marcus Lee Sang singled and reached second base on an error by center fielder Devonte Brown. The error allowed Trevor Schwecke to score from third base.
