Recap


            The B-Mets played a nail biter with the Fisher Cats at home Friday night, taking a scoreless game into the 11th, which is when Binghamton finally broke through for a walk-off win. Jared King would provide the heroics by coming through with a sac fly, but three of the elder statesmen on the team set the run up: Vince Belnome took a one out walk, Joe Benson singled Belnome to 3B, and then they intentionally walked Jonathan Galvez to load the bases. Starters Matt Koch and Taylor Cole were brilliant, looking in control even as a few batters found their way on base throughout the game. For B-Mets starter Koch, this was his best start of the year, although he has been relieving for most of the season. The only hard hit ball Koch allowed was a double off the bat of Ryan Schimpf leading off the 2nd ining, and then Koch retired the next 3 batters on strikeouts. An error and a single in the 4th put runners on the corners against Koch with only one out, but he would retire the next two on lazy fly outs. The B-Mets had a few chances to score against Cole, but they weren’t squaring the ball well up against him, which is exactly what happened when they faced him last week. Adam Kolarek, Paul Sewald, and Jeff Walters relieved Koch with 4 scoreless innings until Binghamton broke through in the 11th. It was the B-Mets third straight win, and 7th walkoff win of the season.

            In the 11th, Vince Belnome would work a one out walk, and then Joe Benson lined a single into CF to advance Belnome to 3B. With Gilbert Gomez now pinch-running at 3B, the Cats decided to load the bases by intentionally walking Jonathan Galvez. All Jared King had to do was get the ball to medium depth in the OF to bring home the game-winning run, and that’s exactly what he did, coming through with a walk off sac fly to CF.




Defensive Highlights


            A catcher cannot make a better throw to 2B than Albert Cordero does right here.


            L.J. Mazzilli ran a long way to get this foul pop out in the 7th.
