Recapish


            With some Major League talent in town, the Binghamton Mets put on a show for the locals to win game one of their double-header with New Hampshire 10-4 Friday evening. Juan Lagares and Jose Reyes were at the top of a lineup that threw a hit party in the early game, but it was the two guys at the bottom of the lineup (L.J. Mazzilli and Maikis De La Cruz) that came through with the BIG hits. The offensive explosion came in support of Tyler Pill, who went the distance for Binghamton.
            Pill induced a groundout to shortstop from each of the first two batters of the game, but found himself down 2-0 just two batters later, as Rowdy Tellez took him deep for his 11th bomb of the season. Pill retired 7 straight after that as his teammates built up an 8-2 lead.
            L.J. Mazzilli struck first, launching a three run homer with in the 2nd to help Binghamton leapfrog the Cats. Maikis De La Cruz delivered the next big blow, launching a grand slam to deep left center field in the 3rd. Both homers came with two outs in the frame, and the first of two 7-inning affairs took on a different feel after that. Both teams added a pair of runs over the final 4 innings, but it seemed like guys were already looking forward to game two.
            Pill ran into some 4th inning trouble, when a runner came home from 3B on the same play Mazzilli committed an error. He then retired 9 in a row before a pair of doubles led to the Fisher Cats fourth run of the game. Pill issued a walk after the second double allowed, which prompted the first coaching visit of the day, and an arm to start stretching in the pen. Don’t think that relief pitcher got very far along in his warmups though, because Pill quickly induced a comebacker off the bat of Roemon Fields to end the game.
            After taking game one, the B-Mets looked to rehabbing Jim Henderson to start a bullpen effort for game two. I break down the scoring and defense highlights from this game below, so enjoy!


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            Jayce Boyd singled with one out in the 2nd inning, but he would be thrown out on the base paths trying to advance to third on Matt Oberste’s single. Oberste was able to reach 3B when Xorge Carrillo followed with a two out single, which kept the inning alive for L.J. Mazzilli. Mazzilli connected for his second homer of the season, pushing the B-Mets ahead 3-2. Maikis De La Cruz and Jose Reyes followed with singles.







            Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith hit back-to-back singles leading off the 3rd inning. The B-Mets would eventually load the bases for Maikis De La Cruz in the frame and he launched a grand slam - I later heard the PA announce that the homer was estimated at 400 feet.




            Juan Lagares and Amed Rosario led off the 4th with back-to-back singles, which prompted a pitching change. The new Cats pitcher walked Dominic Smith to load the bases, and then a Matt Oberste sac fly brought home the ninth B-Mets run of game one.



            After Jose Reyes reached on an E3 to keep the 5th inning alive, Lagares and Rosario connected for back-to-back (and nearly identical) singles into CF to bring him home.



            Oberste added his 16th double of the season in the frame – halfway to his June total already! Carrillo added another hit later in the game too.

            Juan Lagares makes tough catches look easy.


            Tyler Pill handled several comebackers throughout the start, but he initially missed this one before recovering in time for the out.
