Recapish


            He had to wait a few extra days due to rain, but Corey Oswalt picked up a win for his 5th different Mets affiliate Friday night (not including the AFL), as the Rumble Ponies took their opener with Erie 8-3. Binghamton got all the offense they would need during a two-out rally in the 5th inning, which was capped off by Cody Decker’s first homer for the franchise (see below for visuals).
Oswalt, a HS draft pick from the 7th round of the 2012 draft, has steadily progressed through the Mets system the past 5 years. While he’s never shown eye-popping stuff on the mound, he’s been a consistent performer thanks to his control, but now that he’s reached Double-A, the real tests begin. In 330.1 IP throughout the minors (not including AFL), Oswalt has posted a solid 276 K: 66 BB (20.1 K%: 4.8 BB%) ratio and allowed just 14 HR, but opponents have gotten to him for 359 hits.
            Oswalt had allowed just a pair of singles over the first 6 innings but Christin Stewart led off the 7th with a double and came around to score on a pair of groundouts. Kyle Regnault had a very sharp 8th in relief of Oswalt, but Ben Griset would run into trouble in the 9th. Fortunately the Rumble Ponies lead was more than big enough to handle the late charge from Erie.
            This series continues Saturday afternoon at 4:05 PM, with Casey Delgado (0-2, 10.13 ERA) scheduled to pitch for the Rumble Ponies.


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            The Rumble Ponies got the scoring started in the 3rd thanks Champ Stuart’s speed: Stuart led off with a bunt single, stole 2B, stole 3B, and then came home on a infield single that went about 20 feet in front of the plate.



            David Thompson picked up the first RBI hit in the 3rd, and he doubled the scored with an RBI single to bring Jio Mier home in the 5th. Kevin Kaczmarski and Matt Oberste followed with singles of their own, which brought Thompson around to score. Then Cody Decker stepped up and launched his first homer of the season, a three run blast that doubled the Bingo lead to 6-0.




            Kacz hit a one out triple in the 7th and came around on a sac fly to make it 7-0.


            The Ponies added their final insurance run in the 9th, when Oberste doubled and then came around to score on a Kevin Taylor single.
