Recap


            The B-Mets won a wet and wild affair that took two days to complete in the opener of their series in Portland. Original starter Seth Lugo got knocked out in the middle of a rough 2nd inning, and Matthew Koch could not bail him out, but settled in some the rest of the way. The Binghamton bats would take the lead right back in the top of the 3rd, in what was a very sloppy inning for the Portland infield. They’d add a pair of runs in the 4th and 6th to pad their lead, and then Paul Sewald shut the Sea Dogs down over the final three innings to pick up a long-save.
            Lugo allowed back-to-back hits to put runners on 2B and 3B with one out in the 1st, but then made a smart play on a come backer to keep a run off the board initially. On the verge of escaping the jam, catcher Xorge Carrillo let a pitch get by for a passed ball. With rain falling in the 2nd, Sea Dogs batter Tim Roberson reached on a throwing error by Cecchini, and then Kevin Heller doubled him home before things got too wet to continue.
            When the game picked up on Tuesday, Koch came in to a very unusual spot for a starter. After the first batter hitter a grounder to Josh Rodriguez for the second out the next three Sea Dogs batters would reach, giving Portland a 4-2 lead. Koch was able to face the minimum in the 3rd and 5th innings, but a two-out triple brought home a Portland run in the 4th, and then four straight reached to bring home two in the 6th.
            Sewald came in dealing, striking out the first two batters he’d face as part of a 1-2-3 7th. Portland would threaten in the 8th when Mike Miller hit a one-out double, but with two on and two outs, Oscar Tejeda went down swinging to end the frame. Sewald would work a quick 1-2-3 9th to complete the save, upping his string of scoreless innings to start the season to 12 (13 K: 3 BB, 5 H).
            The B-Mets would play their regularly scheduled game once this one completed, which you can read about shortly on this blog. Don’t forget to check out the scoring highlights below.


Scoring Highlights


            Eudy Pina came to the plate with runners on the corners and two outs in the 2nd, and drove them both home with this double down the LF line.


            After Josh Rodriguez led off the 3rd with a walk, Jayce Boyd singled him to 2B. Aderlin Rodriguez would reach on an E6 that brought home J-Rod. A Dustin Lawley HBP would load the bases for Xorge Carrillo, who kept the train moving with a single lined into RF. The next three batters would reach on force-outs to bring home two more runs, which gave the B-Mets a 6-4 lead. The final run came home on an RBI single pulled into RF by Jared King.




            Boyd led off the 4th with a double, and then came around to score on a double from Lawley. Lawley would steal 3B and score on a sac fly from Carrillo.



            Aderlin hit a one-out infield single in the 6th, stole 2B, and then came home on a two-run single off the bat of Gavin Cecchini.
