PORTLAND — Joe Panik drove in all four runs as the Richmond Flying Squirrels (58-59) completed a threegame Eastern League sweep of the Portland Sea Dogs (56- 61), taking Thursday afternoon’s contest, 4-1 at Hadlock Field in front of 6,919 fans.

Richmond won all six from Portland this season and won its fifth straight.

Meanwhile, the Sea Dogs fell to 4-9 during a 22-game stretch against the Western Division.

Craig Westcott (5-11) overcame a few command issues to earn the win for Richmond. The righty tossed seven innings on five hits, one run (unearned) on four walks and four strikeouts. Westcott stranded six runners and held Portland 0-for-7 with runners-in-scoring position.

Portland starter Terry Doyle (1-4) suffered the loss for Portland, giving up four runs (three earned) on eight hits over seven innings. Panik had the game-winning hit, clobbering a three-run shot off Doyle with one out in the seventh. Panik knocked home the first run with a runscoring single in the third.

Portland managed an unearned run off Westcott in the seventh. Matt Spring reached on an error and advanced to third on a double by J.C. Linares (2-for-4). Ryan Dent picked up his 15th RBI with a groundball.

The Sea Dogs had a chance in the eighth, but failed to score against three different pitchers. Drew Bowlin left the game after a walk and single with one out. Phil McCormick fanned Travis Shaw and Edwin Quirarte recorded the final four outs for his eighth save of the year.

Portland catcher Christian Vazquez picked up two hits, extending his hitting streak to seven games.

The Sea Dogs open up a three-game series with the Bowie Baysox (Orioles affiliate) tonight at Hadlock Field. Lefty Henry Owens (1-0, 0.00) makes his Hadlock Field debut against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (1-3, 6.46).
