Recapish


            The Binghamton Mets twice battled back against the Hartford Yard Goats to take the series opener in Binghamton by a final of 7-5 Thursday night. B-Mets starter Tyler Herron was smacked around for 11 hits during his 5+ innings of work, but he limited the Yard Goats to just 5 runs, and his teammates in the pen kept Hartford scoreless over the final 3+ frames. This allowed the B-Mets to charge ahead for good when Phillip Evans powered a four run 7th inning rally with his fourth bomb of the season.

            B-Mets starter Tyler Herron has struggled since joining the roster and it was two out trouble that burned him in this one. He retired the first two batters of the 1st inning before Dillon Thomas singled and Noel Cuevas launched his second homer of the season to make it 2-0 Yard Goats on top. Herron retired the first two batters of the 3rd inning before Hartford strung together three straight singles. An outfield assist from Kyle Johnson to throw Thomas out at home was the only thing that kept Hartford from scoring in the frame. Herron again retired the first two batters in a frame during the 5th, and this time Hartford rallied for one run off Ryan McMahon’s RBI double.
            Despite Herron’s struggles with two outs Thursday night, he left down just 5-3, which was close enough for the B-Mets offense on this night. Binghamton rallied for four runs in the 7th inning, with the Evans three run bomb turning this game upside down in an instant. Binghamton Manager Pedro Lopez turned to a pair of lefties for the final two frames, and Alberto Baldonado and David Roseboom combined to hold onto the 7-5 lead.
            I break down the B-Mets scoring and defensive highlights below, so enjoy!
