Recapish


            The Binghamton Mets played a tight 3-2 game with the Trenton Thunder for 7 innings Monday afternoon before the Thunder exploded for 6 runs over the final two frames to make this game a laugher by the end. The B-Mets showed some life at the plate early, but then finished the game with just 2 hits over their final 7 trips to the plate.
            It wasn’t a bad outing for Lara, but the B-Mets needed a little more length out of him, and he couldn’t hold the 2-1 lead he was given early. A wild pitch from Lara allowed Dustin Fowler to advance into scoring position in the 1st, and then Tyler Austin brought him home with a single to LF.
The B-Mets charged ahead with a two run 1st inning, picking up half of their hits before an out was recorded in the frame – highlights below. Lara allowed a one out double in the 2nd inning but induced a pop up and groundball from the next two batters. Unfortunately Dominic Smith couldn’t field the sharply hit grounder, and his error extending the inning for Tyler Wade. Wade made the B-Mets pay with an RBI single to tie the game at 2.
Lara lost command to the first two batters of the 3rd inning, which opened the door for a third Trenton run. Juan Silva knocked in Austin with a sac fly to give Trenton a lead they would not relinquish.
The Thunder added on with big innings in the 8th and 9th, putting up multiple runs against Alberto Baldonado and Beck Wheeler. Baldonado allowed all of the damage against him with two outs, and then Dave Roseboom had to bail Wheeler out of the 9th.
            Victor Cruzado left after his second hit of the game. He wasn't showing an obvious leg injury by limping or anything, but he also didn't go for second base on the hit after a hard turn when the ball bounced away from the Trenton fielder's. 
            After the series Binghamton left for Erie, where they begin a series with the Sea Wolves. Tuesday night’s opener features a matchup between Robert Gsellman (1-4, 2.75 ERA) and Josh Turley (0-2, 9.00 ERA), and is scheduled to start at 6:35 PM.


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            The B-Mets took a 2-1 lead with four straight singles to start the 4th. Victor Cruzado and Phillip Evans got it started, and then Matt Obertse and Dominic Smith knocked them in.





            Cruzado singled in the 3rd before Maikis De La Cruz took over for him. Maikis would be picked off at 1B right before Evans lined his 4th double of the year into LF.



            Colton Plaia picked up his hit leading off the 4th inning and Stefan Sabol lined a single into CF leading off the 7th.




MiLB.tv Defensive Highlights


            His numbers to date with the B-Mets aren’t pretty, but Phillip Evan has been one of the team’s few bright spots since his bad first week.
