Recap


            The B-Mets finished a season sweep of the Sea Dogs in Portland Monday afternoon, and they now have a 12-game winning streak at Hadlock Field, as well as a 5-game winning streak heading into the All-Star break. Binghamton starter Gabriel Ynoa battled through a long 1st inning Monday afternoon, needing 27 pitches to wade through 6 Portland batters, but he limited the damage to 1 run on 3 singles in the frame, and then did some serious work through the 7th inning. The B-Mets jumped out on top by putting crooked numbers on the board during the 2nd and 5th innings, with both rally’s driven by doubles (see below for scoring details and GIF highlights). A pair of lefties would finish things off for Binghamton, with Adam Kolarek allowing an unearned run in the 8th before Josh Smoker blew the Sea Dogs batters away in the 9th on 95+ MPH heat.
            Gabriel Ynoa quickly found himself in trouble during this start, allowing singles to the first two batters of the game, and then unleashing a wild pitch that put them both in scoring position. He’d induce two pop outs and two groundballs from the next four batters, but Portland took a 1-0 lead on a seeing-eye infield single to the SS hole. After the RBI single in the 1st, Ynoa would retire the next 18 Sea Dogs batters in a row, needing just 52 pitches between the 2nd and 6th innings. He worked ahead in the count all night, throwing a first-pitch strike to 18 straight batters at one point, and extended his streak of 0 walks to 4 starts (32 IP or 116 batters faced).
            The Eastern League starts their All-Star break Tuesday, with the game scheduled for 7:00 PM in Portland on Wednesday. The B-Mets will be back in action Thursday at 6:35 PM, as they start a 4-game set against “rival” Trenton.


Scoring Highlights


            Aderlin Rodriguez and Dustin Lawley got the B-Mets on the board with back-to-back doubles off the mini-monster in the 2nd inning after Augliera hit Brock Peterson with a pitch to start the inning. Xorge Carrillo followed Lawley with an RBI single, but he’d be picked off at 2B to end the frame.




            After Gilbert Gomez and Gavin Cecchini led off the 5th with back-to-back walks, Mazzilli doubled them home for a 5-1 B-Mets lead. Aderlin would add an RBI single with two outs in the frame.



            Cecchini led off the 7th with a double and came around to score on an RBI single from Brock.





Bonus Defense


            Eudy Pina was playing really deep throughout the game Monday, but that just allowed for him to make an awesome diving catch on what might’ve otherwise been a routine fly ball.





            L.J. Mazzilli made an error in the game, but he’s mostly been pretty smooth at 2B, as you can see below.
