Ryan Howard picked up three hits and drove in a pair, including the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, as the Richmond Flying Squirrels topped the Hartford Yard Goats, 6-4, on Wednesday night at The Diamond.
The Flying Squirrels (1-1) collected 14 hits on the night to even the season-opening series with the Yard Goats (1-1).
With the game tied, 4-4, in the bottom of the eighth, Howard drove an RBI double off of Yoan Aybar (Loss, 0-1) to put the Flying Squirrels ahead. Kyle Mottice followed with a squeeze bunt single to push the lead to 6-4.
