New Hampshire (28-36) responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning when Brian Dopirak (2-for-4, R) singled off starting pitcher Scott Lewis, a member of the Cleveland Indians, who went 3.2 innings on a Major League injury rehabilitation appearance.With two outs, Adam Calderone (1-for-3, R, HBP) singled to left off reliever Josh Tomlin, Quintana (1-for-4, RBI) knocked in Dopirak with a single up the middle, and Haerther (2-for-3, RBI) delivered an RBI single to center, trimming the Aeros' lead to 5-2.
