Recap:

            The Binghamton Mets socked three homeruns in taking the opener of a four game series at Reading Friday night. Starter Rainy Lara was not as his sharpest, lasting only 3.2 IP with five runs allowed, but their bullpen calmed things down, and the Mets offense had enough to overcome the Reading comeback in the end. Hansel Robles came in for Lara with two on and two outs in the 4^th and got Kelly Dugan swinging, providing one of the biggest outs of the game – Dugan would later homer.

            The B-Mets got the scoring started early, as Dilson Herrera launched this solo blast with one out in the 1^st.

Dude hits everyday

            The Reading starter Ryan O’Sullivan then lost his control, walking the next two batters: Brian Burgamy and Jayce Boyd. Darrell Ceciliani would follow with this RBI single into CF.

Ceciliani makes it 2-0

            After Travis Taijeron struck out swinging, catcher Juan Centeno knocked the Reading starter out of the game with an RBI single of his own.

Centeno makes it 3-0. Cool view but stinks the feed went weird

            With a new Reading pitcher on the mound, Wilfredo Tovar kept the rally going with an RBI single to LF to make it 4-0 in the top of the 1^st.

Typical Tovar hit

            Lara worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the 1^st, but that seemed like the only time things went his way. After batting around in the 1^st, Brandon Nimmo came up for his second AB to lead off the 2^nd inning and hit this homerun to RF.

The ball nearly went into the hot tub in RF

            Lara would allow a leadoff homerun to Jake Fox in the 2^nd, but then worked around a one-out single to keep it 5-1 after two. The Mets got the run right back in the top of the 3^rd though, when the 7-8-9 batters put together a two-out rally. After Centeno walked, Tovar picked up his second single of the day.

His second single to LF of the night

            Lara followed with a single of his own to drive in Centeno, but Tovar was tagged out trying to reach 3B on the play. Reading came back from a 6-1 deficit heading to the bottom of the 3^rd to tie the game in the 5^th, as the Mets offense went cold for a few innings. In the top of the 7^th, Dilson led off with a walk and came around to score on this long Burgamy homer to RF.

Hit it into the street!

Did you see it in the gif?

            Jayce Boyd followed with this double to right, but he would be stranded on 2B.

Boyd's picked it up as of late, must be the lucky rib he keeps in his car!

            Randy Fontanez came in and pitched a 1-2-3 8^th inning for the Mets, striking out Logan Moore along the way.

Drops a big 1-0 hook on the outside corner

Doubles up on the hook, which makes Moore look bad

After Moore fouled off a fastball, Fontanez went back to Uncle Charlie

            And with a one-run lead, Pedro Lopez went to closer Cody Satterwhite to pitch the 9^th. Satterwhite would allow a leadoff single, and then walked intentionall Fox with two outs, but he struck out the side along the way:

Zach Collier swinging.

This pitch drops out of the zone!

Kelly Dugan looking.

Good location for strike 1

Blows the heat by him to make it 0-2

Paints the corner perfectly for strike 3 - everyone knew

Aaron Altherr swinging.

Got ahead 1-2 with the high heat

He can drop it out of the zone on both sides
