AKRON, OH  [6/12/18] - Jon Harris delivered six no-hit innings and Bo Bichette homered to lead the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays) to a 6-1 in over the Akron RubberDucks (Indians) Tuesday night at Canal Park.

Bichette's fifth home run of the season broke a scoreless tie in the fourth. After Jon Berti was hit by a pitch, the 20-year-old launched a no-doubter beyond the left field wall to make it 2-0 New Hampshire.

The 'Cats added on with four in the fifth. A bases loaded triple from Berti scored three and Bichette followed with a sacrifice fly to put the Fisher Cats up 6-0.

Harris was electric in what was arguably his best outing of his Double-A career. The Fisher Cats starter went six no-hit innings and retired the final 17 batters in a row to improve to 4-3 on the year.

Akron tallied just one hit - a seventh inning double by Joe Sever - and plated a run after a groundout moved Sever to third and a wild pitch brought him home, but that would be all for the RubberDucks as the 'Cats triumphed 6-1.

One hit is a season-low for the Fisher Cats pitching staff, while Berti and Bichette paced the offense with three RBI apiece. Brayden Bouchey and Andrew Case each logged a scoreless inning of relief.

The series continues Wednesday night at Canal Park.
