Recap
The
B-Mets won their fourth straight Monday night in New Britain behind a great
start from Seth Lugo, and a doubles outburst for 3 runs in the 4th.
Lugo had a great start, working efficiently through 7 innings as he collected 8
strikeouts, and getting filthier as the start went on. For most of the game,
the B-Mets batters struggled to get anything going against Shane Carle, but 3
straight RBI doubles in the 4th inning was all the offense this
great B-Mets
pitching needed.
Lugo
retired the first two batters in the 1st inning in quick order, but
then put the B-Mets behind 1-0 after he grooved a fastball to Pat Valaika. He’d
allow only 3 singles the rest of the way, working ahead in the count most of
the night, which led to a lot of early contact when he wasn’t striking batters
out.
Matt
Koch took over in relief of Lugo for the 8th inning, and the Cats
would load the bases before he could record an out. After trading the first out
for a run on a groundout to 1B, Koch retired the next two batters in strikeouts
to end the frame with a 3-2 lead. Jon Velasquez would work a perfect 9th
inning, retiring the final two batters on strikeouts.
The
series continues Tuesday night at 7:05 PM, with Gabriel Ynoa (6-6, 3.87 ERA)
scheduled to pitch for the B-Mets.
Scoring Highlights
L.J.
Mazzilli sparked the B-Mets only rally with a leadoff single in the 4th
inning. Michael Conforto, Brock Peterson, and Brandon Nimmo would follow with
RBI doubles to put Binghamton ahead 3-1.
Mazzilli
would add a double in 8th inning, and Conforto was robbed of two
potential doubles (if not more) by New Britain center fielder Mike Tauchman.
Bonus Defense
Gavin
Cecchini made a couple of sparkling plays in the 1st inning, and
then got 0 chances the rest of the way.
Seth
Lugo made a good throw after this high chopper.
Lugo
was throwing so much heat that he broke a bat on a bunt attempt, and then Xorge
Carrillo picked the ball up and applied the tag. Carrillo also threw out a pair
of would be base stealers in this game.
L.J.
Mazzilli ranging to his left on a grounder.
