Recap
Robert
Gsellman got tagged for 2 runs in the 1st, and the B-Mets bats
couldn’t overcome that deficit against a very sharp Dakota Bacus, who nearly
finished 8 innings with only the 1 run allowed on 5 hits (left with two outs in
the 7th). While the B-Mets really didn’t have many chances to score,
as evidenced by their 2-4 with RISP, they did have a chance to tie it in the 8th,
but Michael Conforto would be thrown out trying to score from 2B on a Brandon
Nimmo single into RF. Nimmo had a great day at the plate and in the field,
picking up two hits and two nice fielding plays at the warning track. Robert
Gsellman really settled down after the 1st, and the B-Mets pen did a
great job of keeping the Senators off the board over the final 3 frames, but
there would be no come back in Binghamton on this night.
Aside
from the 3 walks, Gsellman was very good in this outing, and got better
throughout the start: he allowed 2 walks and 3 singles in the 1st,
and only 2 singles, a walk, and a double after that. He started his night with
a strikeout of Wilmer Difo, but then the next 3 reached on a walk and two
singles. The first RBI hit should’ve been an easy groundout for Cecchini, but apparently
somebody missed (or misread) a signal on the play, as he was waiting for a
throw near the 2B bag when Gsellman broke for home. It looked like Conforto’s
throw got to the plate just ahead of the runner (see below), but Cordero’s tag
was late, and the Senators had a 1-0 lead. They took a 2-0 lead two batters
later on another RBI single hit Conforto’s way. Conforto would get his payback
on the very next pitch, as another single was hit his way and he nailed Matt
Skole at home plate. Gsellman started the 2nd inning with 4 straight
pitches out of the zone, but then retired 14 of the final 17 batters he’d face,
although he got a little wild in the 6th.
The
series wraps up Friday night at 7:05 PM, with Seth Lugo scheduled to pitch,
with Binghamton needing a win for the split.
Scoring Highlights
The
B-Mets only run came in the 7th, and Brandon Nimmo started the frame
with a double over the center fielder’s head. He’d score two batters later when
Eudy Pina singled into RF.
Michael
Conforto hit a single back up the middle in the 8th, and was later
thrown out at home on a potential game-tying single from Nimmo.
Bonus
The
Senators picked sent the runner home from 2B three times in the 1st,
each time on a single to Conforto in LF: his first throw beat the runner, but
the runner beat the tag; his second throw was later; his third throw nailed the
runner to end the frame.
