Recapish
The
Akron Rubber Ducks were up 1-0 after just 1 batter Tuesday night, but the
Binghamton Rumble Ponies answered with 3 homers of their own en route to a 5-4
come back win. The power explosion for Binghamton comes after the team finished
April last in the Eastern League with just 9 homers, so hopefully this is a
sign of good things to come.
Rumble Ponies starter Donovan Hand
recovered nicely after allowing the leadoff homer and two runs total in the 1st,
but left two runners on base before exiting in the 6th, and Corey
Taylor allowed both inherited runners to score. Hand struck out 3 in the 1st
and later struck out the side in order during the 4th inning for 6
of his 7 strikeouts. He had retired 10 of 11 before entering the 6th,
but he reached his pitch limit before he could get the third out of the inning.
Binghamton had begun their comeback
right away in the bottom of the 1st. Champ Stuart worked a leadoff
walk, went to 3B on Luis Guillorme’s hit, and then scored on a double play
groundout. Matt Oberste also singled in the frame, but was left at 1B.
Tomas Nido tied the game when he
launched a two out solo homer to CF in the 3rd inning.
Next it was David Thompson’s turn
to go deep, after Kevin Kaczmarski led off the frame with a single.
Stuart reached base for the second
time when he singled leading off the 5th – it was his sixth straight
game out of the leadoff spot reaching base multiple times – but he was caught
trying to steal a base for the first time in 2017.
After Taylor took over and allowed
the tying runs to score, Oberste led off the 6th and wasted no time
giving Binghamton the lead back by going deep for the second time this season.
Corey Taylor had to work around a
throwing error from Oberste in the 7th, but he stranded the tying
run at 3B in the frame to hold the lead - Luis Guillorme helped with a fancy no-look toss to Mier for the second out. The Rumble Ponies then turned to their
relief aces Tim Peterson and Alberto Baldonado for the 8th and 9th
innings, respectively. Those two did not disappoint, as each pitcher struck out
the side in their frame to close out the game.
This
series wraps up Wednesday at 12:05 PM, with Corey Oswalt (2-2, 3.13 ERA)
scheduled to start for the Rumble Ponies. The Ponies are looking to sweep the rain-shortened set and win their 4th straight overall.
