49-20

That was the final score of the six-game series in Harrisburg. Portland finished it off with an 18-4 pounding yesterday, which featured a team-record 7 RBI from Jeff Bailey (two homers, including a grand slam) and a team-record five hits from Kenny Perez. Overall, the Sea Dogs hit five home runs, and hit for the Home Run Cycle as a team. Perez was 20-46 (.435) on the road trip, while Dustin Pedroia went 19-46 (.413).

Here's a nice Press Herald summary of the road trip. The Sea Dogs now lead New Hampshire by 3 1/2 games. They played in hot weather while in Maryland and Erie, but are coming back to more of the rain that kept their bats down for most of May. Let's see which will be the greater force this weekend.
