The New Hampshire Fisher Cats scored twice more in the inning while getting one hit, taking a 10-2 lead in a 12-7 win over Boston’s Portland Sea Dogs on Tuesday night.

New Hampshire benefitted from eight walks, four wild pitches, two hit batters and a sacrifice fly plus the two-run single by 27-year-old Ismael Munguia.

Hayden Mullins had five walks and Jorge Juan three.
