Recap


            Although both Reading and Binghamton had each already clinched a playoff spot during this series, there was still the matter of which team would finish the season in 1st place. While the B-Mets got a great start from knuckleballer Mickey Jannis, the Reading pitching staff was able to equal his performance on this night, and the Fightins pushed two runs across in the 7th to jump ahead for good. Neither side had a hit until the 4th inning, and they were at only one hit each when Reading came up in that 7th inning. The first B-Mets hit got them on the board, as T.J. Rivera went deep for the 5th time in AA this season. Jonathan Galvez would add a two out triple in the 9th inning for Binghamton, but it was too little too late. A pair of B-Mets made their AA debut in this game: Victor Cruzado came into LF midway through the game and went 0-2, while Jeff McNeil was used as a pinch-hitter for Mickey Jannis in the 8th and walked. The dancing knuckleball from Jannis was a lot of fun to watch, and he induced a lot of swinging strikes and weak groundouts. With a better defensive effort from L.J. Mazzilli with two outs in the 7th, Jannis would’ve kept Reading off the scoreboard, but it’s not Mazzilli’s fault that Jannis couldn’t retire either of the next two batters.
            After the game the B-Mets headed home for their final regular season series of the year. They start a 4-game set against Altoona Friday night at 7:05 PM, with Robert Gsellman (7-6, 3.06 ERA) scheduled to pitch for Binghamton opposite Steven Brault (8-3, 2.20 ERA). Binghamton is scheduled to receive their final rehabbing major leaguer of the season in the form of Lucas Duda this weekend, so get ready for some Duda GIFs!


Scoring Highlights


            T.J. Rivera launched a solo blast for Binghamton in the 6th to break a scoreless tie.


            Dylan Cozens kept the 7th inning alive for Reading by reaching on an infield single to Mazzilli. After Angelo Mora walked, Mickey Jannis unleashed a wild pitch, which allowed both runners to move into scoring position. Harold Martinez followed with a two run single to LF, turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead with a flick of his wrists.




Defensive Highlights


            Mickey Jannis did a nice job fielding his position in the 4th.


            J.P. Crawford makes a ridiculous diving stop and then a strong throw to get Jannis in the 5th.
