Fisher Cats cruise to Eastern League title

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats completed a perfect postseason run by winning the Double-A Eastern League title on Friday as they topped Akron, 8-5, to sweep the best-of-five championship series.

The Fisher Cats scored in five of the first six innings in the victory en route to the franchise's third Eastern League title and first since 2011.

Starting the scoring for the first time in the series, New Hampshire pushed across two runs in the second inning on Patrick Cantwell's RBI double and a Josh Palacios sacrifice fly.

The RubberDucks would tie the game in the third, with Indians No.
