Recap
For
the second straight night, the B-Mets starter stumbled early against the Fisher
Cats, but recovered to give them a quality start. This time, however, the Binghamton bats came alive for three
crooked innings, coming away with a walk-off win in a wild back-and-forth
affair. Six B-Mets players had multiple hits Friday night, and the game looked
well in hand when Fulmer left, but all three Binghamton relievers would allow a
run, blowing a 4-run lead.
Check
out the offense highlights and more on Fulmer below. This series continues
Saturday afternoon at 1:05 PM, with John Gant looking to bounce back from a 4
R/4 BB outing this past Sunday. Brandon Nimmo had to leave this game after his single in the 9th (see below), but there have been no updates a to how serious the injury is, although the team doctor wasn't too concerned.
The
B-Mets combined six hits and two HBP’s to score 4 runs in the 2nd.
The inning started Jayce Boyd was hit by a pitch. He’d move to 3B on a Dustin
Lawley rocket off the third baseman’s mitt and into LF – it was a head’s up
play by Boyd that caught Dwight Smith off guard, which led to a bobble, but
Boyd would have been a dead duck at 3B if Smith fielded it properly. David
Cooper followed with his first hit as a Met, stroking an RBI double into RF.
Xorge Carrillo followed with a two-run ground-rule double of his own to tie the
game at 3. Eudy Pina and Brandon Nimmo would add singles in the frame, but
Carrillo came hom to score on a force out from Jared King.
With
two outs in the 5th, Binghamton went HR (Lawley), single (Cooper),
HR (Carrillo) to build a 7-3 lead.
After
staying quiet while the Fisher Cats took over the lead by the top of the 9th,
Binghamton would come away with a walk-off win in the 9th. Brandon
Nimmo led off the inning with his second hit of the night, although he’d have
to be replaced with an apparent knee injury. Josh Rodriguez and Jayce Boyd
followed with consecutive singles to load the bases, and then a balk led to the
tying run coming home. After a Lawley walk reloaded the bases, Cooper struck
out for the 1st out of the inning. Carrillo provided the heroics by
lifting a fly ball deep enough to LF to bring home J Rod for a 9-8 win.

Pitching Coverage
Michael Fulmer
The
Binghamton coverage teased with the CF cameras on Fulmer in the 1st,
but then didn’t go back to it until after he left. Fulmer had to battle rain
that came and went throughout the start, and both times the announcers
mentioned it coming down harder, Fulmer followed with a walk of Jon Berti – he
also unleashed consecutive wild pitches after the 2nd inning walk.
He also had a low swinging strike rate between the 2nd and 4th
innings, which might have been rain aided, as he picked up 5 swinging strikes
on just 13 pitches during a dry 5th inning (9 overall for the game,
gameday has one mis-identified). He collected his second strikeout in the 5th
on three swinging strikes (per the announcer): a 93 MPH fastball, an 88 MPH
changeup, and an 83 MPH slider – it would be better if his changeup was at 83
MPH and his slider at 88 MPH. I heard his fastball between 93 and 95 MPH
tonight, and he got a lot of groundballs with the slider. The big two-run hit
against Fulmer in the 1st came with two outs on a flare that was
just out of Gavin Cecchini’s reach.
