Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies took the rubber-match 6-5 in Portland Wednesday night thanks to big nights from Luis Guillorme, Colton Plaia, and the Ponies pen. Guillorme reached base in each of his first 4 PA Wednesday night, and then brought home the winning run with a sac fly in the 8th. Kyle Regnault allowed an inherited runner to score after taking over in the 6th, which temporarily tied the game, but then he and Alberto Baldonado combined to strikeout 8 of the final 12 Sea Dogs batters of the game.
            Luis Guillorme started his big night with a 1st inning double, but he would be stranded at 2B.


            Jannis last pitched on Saturday, so this was shorter rest than he is used to, and it looked like it would be a shorter start than Binghamton was used to in the 1st inning. Four singles, a walk, and a wild pitch opened the door for a four run inning from the Sea Dogs, and the third out only came after Jordan Procyshen singled and then went too far around first base.
            The Ponies answered right back in the next frame with a four run inning of their own. Matt Oberste worked a leadoff walk and then went to third on a Kevin Kaczmarski single to RF. David Thompson brought Oberste home with a sac fly, and then Kaczmarski came home on a sac fly from Dale Burdick. With the bases now empty, Colton Plaia drew a walk to keep the rally going. Patrick Biondi, Guillorme, and Tomas Nido followed with consecutive singles, and suddenly the game was tied.

            After the game was reset, Jannis came out recharged. He struck out Danny Bethea and Deiner Lopez in the 2nd before a pop out ended the frame in short order.

71 MPH Knuckleball

69 MPH Knuckleball


            David Thompson put a drive into one to LF with two outs in the 3rd, but his liner found the monster, and Danny Mars got it in quickly to limit Thompson to a single.


            Josh Tobias singled through the right side leading off the Portland 3rd, but then Jannis induced back-to-back grounders from Rafael Devers and Nick Longhi for three outs.



            Guillorme picked up his third hit in four innings to advance Plaia (HBP) to second base in the 4th inning, and then Nido loaded the bases up with his second single to RF of the game. Unfortunately, after Kevin Taylor walked home a run to make it 5-4, the Sea Dogs brought in reliever Taylor Grover, and he shut the Bingo bats down through the 8th.




            Jannis issued a leadoff walk in the 4th inning, but those were the only balls he threw out of the zone in the frame, and he was back in the dugout after a strikeout (Joseph Monge) and two groundouts.

87 MPH Fastball

            The Rumble Ponies turned two groundballs from Jannis into three outs in the 5th inning to erase a Danny Mars walk, with Jannis himself starting the inning ending double play.





            Devers worked a walk against Jannis leading off the 6th, went to second base on a wild pitch, to third base on a groundout, and then scored on a Cole Sturgeon single after Kyle Regnault had take over. Regnault then struck out four of the next five Sea Dogs batters before handing the ball off to the Ponies closer for the 8th.
            Before Baldonado came in, the Ponies scratched out one last run to give him a lead to protect. With Jake Cosart now pitching for Portland, Thompson worked a leadoff walk and then stole second base in the frame. Dale Burdick couldn’t get him to third (fly out), but Plaia and Biondi took walks to load them up for pesky Luis Guillorme. Guillorme came through with the Ponies third sac fly of the game to make it a 6-5 game.
            Nick Longhi ripped a two out double to the RF warning track against Baldonado in the 8th, but was otherwise very effective. He struck out Devers and Sturgeon in the 8th and then Procyshen and Bethea back-to-back to end the game.





            The series win pushed Binghamton into a virtual tie for first in the division with rival Trenton Thunder (Binghamton is ahead by percentage points), who the Ponies face at the end of May. They return home for a weekend series with Akron, which includes a Saturday double-header, and have P.J. Conlon (3-1, 3.31 ERA) scheduled to make Thursday’s 6:35 PM opener.
