Recapish


            The Binghamton Mets came out on the wrong end of a pitcher’s duel Thursday afternoon, losing 2-1 to Portland on getaway day to snap a 14-game winning streak at Hadlock Field. Rainy Lara had cruised through the first 6 innings, so manager Pedro Lopez didn’t hesitate to send him out for the 7th after the B-Mets handed him a lead. Lara would give that lead back without recording an out, and Akeel Morris couldn’t keep the go-ahead run from coming home in the frame.
            The B-Mets offense couldn’t get anything going against Portland’s starter Aaron Wilkerson Thursday afternoon. Wilkerson K’d the first 4 batters he faced and never slowed down after that. The B-Mets didn’t get their first baserunner until Niuman Romero walked in the 4th, and they just couldn’t string anything together all night. They had a chance to tie the game in the 8th inning, but Maikis De La Cruz was thrown out trying to steal 2B right before the walk and double that would’ve brought him around to score.
            I break down the scoring details with highlights below, so enjoy! The Binghamton Mets left for home after the loss with Akron coming into town for the weekend. The series starts Friday at 7:05 PM, with Mickey Jannis scheduled to pitch for Binghamton.


Scoring Highlights


            Victor Cruzado and L.J. Mazzilli singled in the 7th, and then Cruzado came home on a wild pitch to score the games first run.



            Dominic Smith and Maikis De La Cruz added singles in the game, and Kyle Johnson doubled two batters after Maikis was thrown out trying to steal 2B.
