A two-run HR was the down fall for the Senators, coming in the bottom of the 10th to the first batter for a 2-1 loss. Yoel Tejada Jr. repeated last Friday’s outing with four shutout innings, allowing two hits and one walk. Alex Clemmey followed and turned in four and 2/3rds scoreless with one hit, one walk, and eight whiffs. Thomas Schultz gave up a single to the first batter he faced in the 9th and the 10th, but the latter was the game-losing homer. Elijah Green’s two-out RBI single in the 10th was the fifth and final hit for Harrisburg. The Sens struck out 14 times, walked four times, and left nine on base.
