Anderson scattered seven hits and struck out four batters while walking none. Chad Girodo worked 1⅓ innings of relief and retired all four batters he faced before Wil Browning pitched a perfect ninth inning to record his first save of the season.
New Hampshire took a 1-0 lead in the third on an RBI single by Dalton Pompey that plated Ian Parmley — marking the 14th consecutive game that the opposing team has scored first at Hadlock Field.
The Fisher Cats doubled their lead in the fifth on an RBI single by Dwight Smith Jr. that also drove home Parmley.
