Recap
B-Mets
starter Matt Koch was just a little too hittable Sunday night, and Fisher Cats
starter Taylor Cole was just the opposite over the first 8 innings, which left
Binghamton down 4-0 as the game reached the 9th inning. The
Binghamton Mets managed to put together a 3-run rally in the 9th,
but it was too little, too late for this game. Xorge Carrillo and Josh
Rodriguez had big days at the plate, but the B-Mets would manage only 2 other
singles against Cole during his 8+ innings. Koch would work around trouble in
the 1st, and throw 1-2-3 frames in the 2nd and 4th
innings, but couldn’t work around multiple hits allowed in the 3rd,
5th, and 6th innings. Four of the nine hits allowed by
Koch went for extra bases, but they were all hit to Brock Peterson in LF, and
he had a poor game in the outfield. I’m not suggesting that all of those extra
base hits to LF would’ve been caught by another left fielder, but a more
conservative approach could have at least limited the number of bases taken
multiple times. Adam Kolarek came in to relieve Koch in the 6th, and
he would strand an inherited runner on 3B to finish the frame, and then work a
scoreless 7th. Erik Goeddel looked very sharp working a scoreless 8th,
sitting 93-94 MPH and showing that sharp curve, so hopefully he’ll be back with
the Mets soon.
Check
out the scoring details and highlights below, as well as the 4 combined
strikeouts between the B-Mets pitchers. Binghamton headed home to start a
series against Erie Monday night, with Rainy Lara (6-5, 3.74 ERA) scheduled to
make the 6:35 PM start for the B-Mets.
The
Fisher Cats struck first, scoring a run on an RBI double from Dwight Smith Jr.
in the 3rd out. Smith brought home Jorge Flores with the double,
after he led off the frame with a single, and was advanced to 2B with a sac
bunt.
Shane
Opitz and Flores led off the 5th with back-to-back single for the
Cats, and then Opitz would come home on an RBI groundout from Roemon Fields to
double New Hampshire’s lead.
B-Mets
starter Matt Koch would retire K.C. Hobson to begin the 6th inning,
but then Derrick Chung singled, Emilio Guerrero doubled, and Shane Opitz
tripled, which doubled the Cats lead again.
The
B-Mets finally broke through against Taylor Cole in the 9th, scoring
two runs on a bomb from Josh Rodriguez that knocked Cole out of the game. Vince
Belnome, Joe Benson, and Xorge Carrillo would combine for a third run on 3
singles in the 9th, but Jared King couldn’t get the tying run home,
grounding out to 1B instead.
Xorge
Carrillo had a big game, picking up 3 hits, including this double in the 8th.
