Another player making a difference was Landon Begovac, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.
Newark's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 9-14. As for Serena, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-12.
