Mickey Pena climbed the hill for Portland and struggled on the cold dreary night at Hadlock. The starter was
roughed up for five runs and recorded just one out before being lifted.

Former Portland Sea Dog Tony Thomas walked and kicked off the rally with one out. Eastern League Player of the Week, Daniel Ortiz followed with an RBI triple and was driven home on Kennys Vargas' single. Another former Sea Dogs, Reynaldo Rodriguez crushed a two-run shot over the Maine Monster, which doubled the lead to 4-0 over Pena and Portland.

The Rock Cats capped off their scoring with an RBI double off the bat of Brandon Waring, which ended Pena's night. Matty Ott came out of the bullpen and retired the two hitters he faced, stranded two in scoring position, kept it a 5-0 game.

Portland began its comeback with a run in the first. Peter Hissey hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a wild pitch from New Britain's Pat Dean and scored on Stefan Welch's single to center.

Dean was out for the second inning, but allowed the first five to reach and opened the door for the Sea Dogs. Sean Coyle, Mike Brenly, and Heiker Meneses all singled to begin the inning and Bo Greenwell drove home a pair with a double to right-center, which cut the deficit to 5-3. Dean tossed a wild pitch to plate Meneses and Derrik Gibson tied the game at 5-5 with a sacrifice fly to center before the skies opened and the rain poured down.
