The losing streak is over.
Yes, it had to be a much louder bus ride home for the Nashua Silver Knights from Norwich, Conn. as they snapped a five game losing streak by salvaging the second game of a doubleheader 5-2 over the Norwich Sea Unicorns at Dodd Stadium.
Norwich won the first game, a resumption of a suspended game last Friday, 13-4.
Londonderry’s Brandon Fish led the way in the second game for Nashua (7-18) with three hits, an RBI and a run scored while Wyatt Scotti, still eyeing a spot on a Cape Cod League roster, checked the Sea Unicorns on two runs (one earned) on just two hits over 5.2 innings.
Ryan Murphy finished up the final 1.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Scotti fanned five.
Nashua snapped a 2-2 tie in the top of the seventh of Game 2 with three runs. Connor Hujsak singled and eventually scored the winning run on a passed ball, and Fish’s RBI single gave Nashua some insurance.
Matt Orlando and Logan Ott hit RBI doubles in the first and second innings to give the Knights a 2-0 lead that stood up until Norwich tied it in the sixth.
In the opener, which was the resumption of a game suspended by rain last Friday, Norwich (14-12) broke open a 2-1 game with five runs in the fourth inning, and outhit Nashua 13-5. Jack Beauchesne was charged with the loss as he threw three innings last Friday, but Tommy Kalantzakos began things Friday and gave up five runs on two hits.
Nick Perkins and Kevin Skagerlind each had two hits for the Knights, who travel to face the Westfield Starfires tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the fourth game of a five game road stretch.
