Recapish
After
a rainout cancelled their game Tuesday night, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies and
Richmond Flying Squirrels played two Wednesday, and the Ponies rode a top-notch
start from P.J. Conlon to a game one victory. Conlon allowed four base runners
over the first two innings – the final one on an error from rehabbing shortstop
Asdrubal Cabrera – but then retired the final 16 batters of the game
consecutively.
Unfortunately,
the feed for this game was very choppy, so the highlights for this game are
limited. I thought it was just my connection, but it must’ve been the
connection at The Diamond (Richmond’s stadium), because the archive is very
choppy too.
Conlon
was the second Mets minors’ starter to throw a 7-inning complete game shutout
Wednesday, but his start couldn’t have been more different than Jordan
Humphreys. Humphreys struck out ten and was missing bats all game, whereas
Conlon finished with just three strikeouts and relied on weak contact and his
defense all game. The Richmond announcers were impressed with his offspeed
stuff, which kept the Richmond batters off balance all night. He never needed
more than 16 pitches in any one inning.
Binghamton
didn’t pick up a hit until the 4th, when they connected for a run on
three straight hits. Tomas Nido sparked the games only rally with a double to
center field, his eighth of the year. Nido advanced to third on a Kevin Taylor
single and then scored on a Kevin Kaczmarski single.
The
Rumble Ponies added a few more singles after that, including one from Conlon
and one from Asdrubal Cabrera, but couldn’t add any insurance. Of course, that
didn’t matter since Conlon wasn’t letting anyone on base anyway.
With
a 1-0 win in the books, Binghamton turned to Donovan Hand for the double-header
sweep chance in game two, with a chance to clinch the four-game series win as
well.
