Gibson Delivers Outstanding Five-Inning Performance in Defeat against Fisher Cats
New Hampshire Fisher Cats Sweep Doubleheader Against Chesapeake Baysox
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats have dominated the Chesapeake Baysox in a recent series at Prince George's Stadium, securing a 9-4 victory on Sunday and a doubleheader sweep on Saturday with scores of 5-4 (extra innings) and 6-0.
On Sunday, August 3, 2025, Victor Arias shone brightly for the Fisher Cats. He hit two home runs against his former teammate, Baysox pitcher Juaron Watts-Brown. Arias' first career Double-A homer was a remarkable achievement, as it came on the first pitch of the game. His second two-run homer followed three innings later. New Hampshire scored in multiple innings, building a 9-1 lead by the end of the fifth inning and cruising to victory.
The previous day, on Saturday, August 2, 2025, the Fisher Cats swept the doubleheader. Charles McAdoo made a significant impact, contributing two home runs. His game-winning homer in the eighth inning of the first game raised his team-leading total to 12 homers for the season. The pitching staff collectively struck out 17 batters over 15 innings, with a strong starting performance by Rafael Sánchez and effective closing by Conor Larkin.
The series began with New Hampshire winning 9-1 on the prior Friday, further reinforcing their strong performance. The Fisher Cats displayed impressive offensive power, with key players Arias and McAdoo contributing multiple home runs. The pitching staff limited the Baysox's scoring, and the team scored consistently across innings.
The Baysox struggled to keep pace despite some early runs but were outmatched by New Hampshire’s hitting and pitching depth. Juaron Watts-Brown’s debut for Chesapeake against his former team was a notable event but did not prevent a loss.
In the standings, the Fisher Cats improved to 15-17 in the division with a 44-57 overall record after these wins, while the Baysox trailed at 12-21 and 43-57 overall.
