MANCHESTER — Catcher Jack Murphy jacked a sixth-inning solo homer to the right-field train tracks, and it capped a nightcap comeback that earned the Fisher Cats a split in Sunday’s 14-inning doubleheader.

Murphy turned on a low-90s fastball that knocked off the New Britain Rock Cats, 5-4, at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. Earlier in the evening, the Fishers managed just three hits in a 4-0 loss.

“The first game was a little frustrating. No energy, a little flat. ... It was nice to see the guys battle back and get that split. It was well-earned,” Fishers manager Sal Fasano said after his last-place club snapped a three-game skid and improved to 36-52.

Reliever Fernando Hernandez (3-6) allowed one hit over the final three innings. A split of the seven-inning games didn’t look promising at the start.

Chris Herrmann’s second home run of the twinbill staked the Rock Cats (49-39) to a two-run, first-inning lead in Game 2. Fishers starter Matt Wright allowed four runs on five hits in the frame.

The Fishers responded with four hits in their first at-bat. Ryan Goins, Kenen Bailli, Kevin Howard and Brad Glenn stroked singles that cut the deficit to 4-2.

Mark Sobolewski’s RBI single in the second pulled the Fishers within a run. An inning later, Glenn rocked a game-tying solo homer to right-center.

In the opener, Blake Martin was brilliant. That was bad news for the Fishers, handcuffed in a game that took 1 hour, 47 minutes to complete.

“I was just trying to throw first-pitch strikes to try and get as deep into the game as I could,” said Martin, who spun the gem in front of 4,454 fans. “We have a doubleheader. I was trying to save the bullpen.”

Glenn, Jorl Galarraga and Mike McDade had New Hampshire’s three singles.

Neither Glenn, Galarraga or McDade advanced to scoring position, either.

Glenn was erased on Kevin Howard’s double-play grounder in the second. Galarraga was stranded after his two-out single in the seventh. McDade’s infield single was followed by swing-and-miss strikeouts from Glenn and Howard.

Martin (3-3) worked quickly. He threw 75 pitches, 56 for strikes.

Chris Colabello tagged Fishers starter Yohan Pino (5-4) for a first-inning run. Colabello’s double scored Aaron Hicks, whose leadoff single was the first of New Britain’s 11 hits.

Evan Bigley and Herrmann supplied the power for the Rock Cats. Bigley hit a two-run blast to the opposite field in the third. Herrmann’s homer, another no-doubter to right, capped the scoring in the fifth.
