Recap
It
took two days, but the B-Mets won the opener against New Britain behind some
strong pitching and a big 6th inning. Mother nature interfered with
two very strong pitching performances Friday night, as Michael Fulmer was off
to his best start in AA, and Cats starter Shane Carle held Binghamton hitless
over the first 3 innings. But as frustrating as it was to have to cut short Fulmer’s
start, the B-Mets definitely benefited from getting to the Cats bullpen early,
jumping out for 2 runs as soon as the game resumed, and then 5 in the 6th
(see below for scoring details and highlights). Matt Koch took over for Fulmer
on Saturday in the 5th and was very sharp, as he generally has been
for short bursts out of the pen. Koch does not need to be a one-inning guy, but
he’s better suited for relatively shorter bursts out of the pen than going
through a lineup multiple times to start the game – I guess you could say that
about a lot of guys, but Koch is making it work in AA. Adam Kolarek finished
the last two innings and was wildly effective with a big lead. The ¾ arm-slot
magic appears to have worn off with Kolarek as the league adjusted to him.
The
series continued 45 minutes after this game finished, with Robert Gsellman
making his 3rd AA start.
The
rain ended Michael Fulmer’s best start to date early, but the B-Mets were being
no-hit through 3 innings Friday, so they definitely benefitted from it too.
Jared King would reach on a throwing error by the Cats shortstop, and then L.J.
Mazzilli followed with a single. A Conforto groundout would advance both
runners, and then Brock Peterson doubled them home for a 2-0 lead.
Mazzilli
got the 6th inning rally started with a double. Michael Conforto
would advance him to 3B on a single to RF, and then Peterson walked to load the
bases. Josh Rodriguez would clear the bases with a double, which made it a 5-1
game. Dustin Lawley added an RBI double in the frame, and then scored on a
single off the bat of Eudy Pina.
