Recap
The
Binghamton Mets got a boost to their rotation with the return of Robert
Gsellman Sunday afternoon, but he was unable to guide them past the Fisher Cats
in this game. Gsellman was pitching for the first time since 8/19, and he
picked up right where he left off, inducing groundouts and weak contact early
in the AB. He was working so efficiently that despite having a 5-inning limit
(per B-Mets radio announcer Tim Heiman, and seems logical since he’s nearing
his season innings limit), Pedro Lopez let him go out there for a 6th
inning, although he might’ve regretted that. Gsellman would surrender a run during
his final inning of work, squandering the slim lead he was given.
The B-Mets put a run on the board in
3 straight innings, but they could only scratch out two singles after the 4th.
Akeel Morris came in to relieve Gsellman first, and he was great over his two
scoreless innings, allowing only a walk to the one batter he probably didn’t
want to face (Dwight Smith Jr.). Jeff Walters kept the scoreless streak alive
in the 9th, but Adam Kolarek could not recover after allowing a
leadoff but single in the 10th. New Hampshire would eventually load
the bases against Kolarek with just one out, and then Jack Murphy doubled home
two game-winning runs before Kolarek rebounded to retire the final two batters
of the frame.
The Binghamton Mets head to Reading
for a series with the 1st place Fightin Phils to start the week, and
have the fortune of Steven Matz (1-0, 0.00 ERA) pitching for them against Jake
Thompson (3-1, 1.97 ERA). Matz’s first
rehab appearance with Binghamton was a smashing success, and he’ll be on a
80-pitch count limit tomorrow.
Vince
Belnome picked up the first Binghamton hit of the day in the 2nd
inning on a line drive to CF, and then Jonathan Galvez doubled him home two
batters later.
L.J.
Mazzilli’s 12th error of the season led to two unearned runs for New
Hampshire in the 3rd inning. Jorge Flores reached on a bunt single
with one out to get the rally started. Mazzilli’s fielding error came on the
next play, and it allowed the runners to advance to 2B and 3B. Dwight Smith Jr.
followed with a two run single to LF that gave the Cats a 2-1 lead.
Binghamton
would tie the game on a pair of two out his in the bottom half of the 3rd
inning. T.J. Rivera kept the inning alive with a double to CF, and then Josh
Rodriguez brought him home with an RBI single into CF.
Vince
Belnome gave Binghamton the lead back on the first pitch of the 4th
inning when launched his first homerun since joining the B-Mets.
Robert
Gsellman found himself in trouble right away in the 6th, allowing a
single and double to the first two batters of the frame. The Cats would only
get one run out of it on a sac fly from Jack Murphy, but that was enough to tie
this game back up at 3.
The
game would stay tied until Murphy came up against Adam Kolarek with the bases
loaded and one out in the 10th inning. Murphy would come through for
New Hampshire once again, doubling home two runs to give New Hampshire the 5-3 lead
they would win by.
L.J. Mazzilli contributed his fifth hit of the series later in the game, but it amounted to nothing for Binghamton.
