Sea Dogs keep playoff hopes alive going into final day of season

Isaac Coffey took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and the Portland Sea Dogs kept their Eastern League playoff hopes alive with a 4-2 win Saturday night against the Binghamton Rumble Ponies at Hadlock Field.

Coffey (11-4) finished with 10 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. Alex Hoppe pitched the final 3 1/3 innings, allowing two runs with two outs in the ninth.

Blaze Jordan paced the offense, going 3 for 3 with two RBI.

Portland remained a half-game behind the Somerset Patriots in the Northeast Division second-half standings, which means the Sea Dogs need a win Sunday combined with a Somerset loss to qualify for the playoffs.
