Alec Asher turned in his best start of the season despite not getting the win on Saturday night. Rhys Hoskins hit a solo home run off Fisher Cats reliever Brady Dragmire in bottom of the 11th to give Reading (11-5) a 4-3 win.

Reading took a 1-0 lead off Fisher Cats starter Shane Dawson in the bottom of the first. Roman Quinn led off the inning with a single then stole second base. He moved to third base on a throwing error by Fisher Cats catcher Jorge Saez. Angelo Mora grounded out to short stop that scored Quinn and gave Reading the lead.

Asher was smooth through seven innings. In the top of the eighth inning he recorded the first two outs before running into trouble. He gave up a double to Saez then issued a walk to Jorge Flores. Yacksel Rios entered the game in relief of Asher. New Hampshire tied the game at 1-1 on a fielding error by Jesmuel Valentin.

New Hampshire scored two runs off Rios in the top of the ninth inning to take a 3-1 lead. Reading tied the game at 3-3 in the bottom of the ninth as Dylan Cozens and pinch-runner Aaron Brown scored on a throwing error from Chris Smith.

Severino Gonzalez (1-0) earned his first win of the season by pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief. Hoskins extended his hitting streak to 12 games. Reading has now won four consecutive series.
