Recapish


            The Binghamton Mets walked off in extras for the second straight night Friday, this time taking the 3-2 win against the Yard Goats in the 13th. Rainy Lara gave his team a great chance to win over 6 innings, but the B-Mets were back to having trouble getting the big hit with runners in scoring position. Fortunately the pen was even better than Lara, which gave the offense (aka, Stefan Sabol) plenty of time to come back, and they finally did in the 9th. The B-Mets pen stayed great in extras, and Sabol did the rest, knocking in Victor Cruzado, who scored the game-winning run for a second straight night.
            The Yard Goats really made Lara work in the 1st and 3rd innings, but Lara was able to limit the damage to just 1 run in each frame, which was obviously huge in this game. The 1st was actually extended after Lara struck out Ryan McMahon with two outs because the wild pitch got away from the B-Mets catcher. Correll Prime followed with an RBI infield hit to make it a 1-0 game.
            Sabol had a huge game, finishing with 4 hits, including all 3 RBI hits for the B-Mets. He tied the game with a two out RBI double to knock in Cruzado in the 2nd inning. He might’ve had a 4 double night with some generous scoring: his 9th inning RBI hit was ruled a single and E8 because the ball bounced away from David Dahl, but the announcers initially called it a double because Sabol never stopped around 1B; his walkoff single was lined into the LF corner and would’ve been a double under normal circumstances, but his teammates were crowding him just shy of 2B when the cameras panned to him after the winning hit.
It wasn’t all positive for Sabol though, as he was charged with an error on the play that led to the second run of the game in the 3rd inning. Dillon Thomas lined a single towards Sabol with Pat Valaika on 1B in the 3rd. The ball bounced away from Sabol, which allowed the runners to move up a base. Then L.J. Mazzilli failed to catch the throw in from Sabol for an E4, which caused the runners to take off again. Thomas was thrown out at 3B, but Valaika scored the second Hartford run of the game.
            Kevin McGowan made his season debut for the B-Mets and had no problems. Logan Taylor did most of the heavy lifting out of the pen, striking out 6 over 3 scoreless innings and facing one over the minimum during that time. Those two relievers were starting in St. Lucie last year, so they are a little more advanced than the rest of the pen.
            I break down the scoring details below, so enjoy! This series continues Satuday night at 7:05 PM, with former major leaguer Josh Zeid scheduled to make his Mets franchise debut for Binghamton.


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            Stefan Sabol started his big night with a two out RBI double in the 2nd inning. He knocked in Victor Cruzado, who had drawn a leadoff walk.


            Sabol’s second double of the game came leading off the 5th inning, but the B-Mets couldn’t advance him.


            Dominic Smith led off the 6th with his first hit of the game.


            Colton Plaia and Matt Oberste singled in the 7th inning, and the B-Mets got the tying run into scoring position with less than two outs, but vets Derrik Gibson and Niuman Romero couldn’t come through.



            Colton Plaia doubled to spark the game-tying rally in the 9th inning. Maikis De La Cruz came in to run for Plaia and was quickly knocked in on Sabol’s third hit of the game.




            Jayce Boyd and Dominic Smith singled leading off the 10th inning, but neither would touch 3B safely – Boyd was caught stealing 3B to end the frame.



            Victor Cruzado reached on an infield single to start the final rally of the night in the 13th. He’d advance to 2B on a sac bunt from L.J. Mazzilli, and then score on Sabol’s final hit of the night.
