At Richmond, Va.
Bryant Betancourt had a pinch-hit RBI single in the 10th inning leading the Hartford Yard Goats to a 5-2 victory against the Richmond Flying Squirrels in the season finale on Sunday afternoon at The Diamond. It was the last ever game at The Diamond for the Flying Squirrels who will move into a new ballpark next season.  Connor Staine pitched into the seventh inning and got help from RBI hits from Jared Thomas, Betancourt and Julio Carreras.  The Yard Goats finished the season with a winning record of 69-68.  The Yard Goats open the 2026 season at Dunkin’ Park on Thursday, April 2nd against the Baltimore Orioles affiliate, the Chesapeake Baysox.

The Yard Goats scored the first run of the game in the fifth inning as Jared Thomas knocked home Dyan Jorge with a single to right field off Richmond starting pitcher Ryan Murphy.  Hartford made it 2-0 in the seventh inning on a fielding error on a ball hit by Braylin Wimmer which allowed Cole Messina to score. Yard Goats starting pitcher Connor Staine did not allow a run over his first six innings and retired 12 in a row from the third through seventh innings.  He sat down the side in order three times and permitted only three hits over the first six frames. Tied at 2-2, the game went into extra innings. In the 10th, Betancourt cracked a pinch-hit go-ahead run-scoring single, and Jared Thomas scored, giving Hartford a 3-2 lead.  Later in the inning, Julio Carreras smashed a double down the left field line, scoring Betancourt and Benny Montgomery to make it 5-2.

The Sun cut the lead to nine in the third quarter but that is as close as they would get.

Marina Mabrey led the way for the Sun with 22 points and five assists. It was her ninth game with more than 20 points this season. Veteran forward Tina Charles broke the Sun single season scoring record in tonight’s game, finishing with nine points and two assists. She surpassed DeWanna Bonner (607 points in 2023). Charles finishes 2025 with 700 points, the most she has scored in any season of her 14-year WNBA career. Saniya Rivers notched 16 points, five assists and one steal.

The Yard Goats dropped pitchers’ duel to the Richmond Flying Squirrels by the score of 2-1 on Wednesday evening at The Diamond in Richmond, Virginia.  Carter Howell broke a 1-1 tie with an RBI single in the fourth inning, and Richmond cruised behind starter Tristan Vrieling and three relievers stopping Hartford who had won seven of its previous eight road games.  Hartford starter Sean Sullivan was denied his 10th win of the season.  Yard Goats relievers Evan Shawver, Victor Juarez and Welinton Herrera retired 12 of the final 13 batters to end the game along with seven strikeouts.  The Yard Goats playoff chances are still alive as Somerset lost to Reading.  With four games remaining, Somerset’s magic number to clinch the final Northeast Division playoff spot and eliminate Hartford is one.

Hartford 8, Richmond 2
At Richmond, Va.
Outfielder Cole Carrigg smashed a go-ahead grand slam home run in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie and lead the Yard Goats to an 8-2 win against the Richmond Flying Squirrels on Tuesday night at The Diamond.  Carrigg’s franchise record fourth grand slam of the season sailed over the right center field fence for his team leading 15th homer of the season.  Yard Goats relievers, Mason Green, Carlos Torres, Davis Palermo and Bryce McGowan held Richmond to only one run over the final eight innings.  Charlie Condon belted his 11th Eastern League home run, a two-run blast in the sixth inning.  Somerset defeated Reading so the Patriots magic number to clinch a playoff spot is two.
