HARRISBURG, Pa. — Zach Collier led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a single and scored the winning run on a bases-loaded walk to Adrian Sanchez, lifting the Harrisburg Senators to a 2-1 win over the Portland Sea Dogs on Wednesday night at FNB Field.
The walk by Sanchez was the third straight issued by Portland reliever Luis Ysla, who entered the game to start the ninth inning in relief of Nik Turley.
The only out recorded by Ysla came on a sacrifice by Spencer Kieboom that moved Collier to second base.
Turley struck out four over two scoreless innings of relief after Portland starter Justin Haley gave up one run on five hits and one walk, striking out eight over six innings.
The Sea Dogs (16-29) jumped ahead in the first inning Sean Coyle doubled, then scored on Andrew Benintendi’s single.
Harrisburg (23-21) tied the game in the second on a single by Kieboom that scored Collier, who had led off the inning with a triple.
Bryan Harper, brother of Bryce, pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the win.
