June 30, 2009 02:03 am MANCHESTER, N.H. — David Cooper went 2 for 3 with a homer, a walk, two RBIs and three runs scored, and Brian Dopirak added two hits, including a run-scoring double, to extend his hitting streak to a season-high 13 games, but it wasn't enough to prevent the New Hampshire Fisher Cats from dropping an 8-5 decision to the Portland Sea Dogs before a standing-room-only crowd of 7,141 at Merchantsauto.com Stadium in the completion of a suspended game from Sunday night that was halted by rain after eight innings. When the game started on Sunday night, Portland (36-38) took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a two-out, two-run single by Ryan Kalish (4 for 5, 3 RBI, 2 SB) off losing pitcher Randy Boone. When the game resumed last night, Kalish added another RBI single off Adrian Martin in the top of the third inning to give the Sea Dogs a 3-0 lead. Portland went in front 6-0 against Martin in the top of the fourth when Jon Still (2 for 5, HR, 3 RBI) tattooed his team-leading ninth home run of the year, a three-run blast that bounced off the roof of the Samuel Adams Bar & Grill.
