Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies came out on the short side of a back-and-forth affair with Altoona Wednesday night, as the Curve evened the series up with an 8-6 win. Rumble Ponies starter Mickey Jannis turned in a quality start, and was very sharp outside of the 4th, but the generally reliable Ponies pen allowed five runs over the final three innings. After a roster jam in Las Vegas, L.J. Mazzilli was added to the roster earlier in the day, and made it in time to provide a homer off the bench.
            Jannis had to work around a pair of singles over the first two innings, but his defense helped him turn five grounders into five outs, plus he struck out red-hot Kevin Kramer.




            The Rumble Ponies struck first after Austin Coley got wild in the 2nd. Cody Decker and Kevin Kaczmarski were hit by pitches, and then David Thompson took a walk to load the bases. After a Jio Mier sac fly made it 1-0, Colton Plaia worked a walk to reload the bases. Mickey Jannis and Champ Stuart followed with RBI singles to make it 3-0 after 2.



            Kevin Kaczmarski singled in the 3rd, advancing Decker (walk) to second base, but a Mier double play cut any potential rally short.


            Jannis was smacked around in the 4th. Kevin Newman led off the frame with a single grounded sharply through the middle, but was thrown out trying to stretch it to a double. Kramer followed with his 13th double of the year before stealing third base. The steal proved unnecessary, as the next three batters went single, triple, double, and then Jannis issued his only walk of the game. With the game spiraling, Jannis tossed a grounder hit Guillorme’s way, and he connected with Mier to start an unusual inning ending double play.


            Jannis still had to work around trouble in the 5th and 6th innings, but he’d end his night on a high note, striking out Wyatt Mathisen with a runner on third base.


            Cory Burns was the first to replace Jannis and things did not go well for him, as Altoona knocked him out after just four batters (two singles, two walks). Kyle Regnault was brought on next, in a bases loaded situation, and he’d allow two of the inherited runners to score. Binghamton benefitted from a fortunate infield fly rule called on a pop out hit to shallow CF, which dropped in - a run would score on the play. The inning ended with the third double play turned by Bingo’s middle infield of the game, although it was the first from the Guillorme-Mazzilli pair.



            The Ponies wasted little time getting those runs back in their half of the 7th, which Plaia got started with a single to CF. Mazzilli followed with his homer, which made it a 6-5 game. Guillorme worked a walk two batters later and then advanced to third base on an errant pickoff attempt. This opened the door for Kevin Taylor to tie the game with an RBI single into RF.




            David Thompson singled leading off the 8th, and another errant pickoff throw had him 90 feet away in a tie game, but Plaia and Mazzilli went down swinging before a Champ Stuart fly out to RF.


            Tim Peterson started the 9th with a 0.00 ERA in 13.2 IP between Las Vegas and Binghamton this year, but Jordan Luplow ended that streak two batters later, giving the Curve their decisive 8-6 lead with a homer crushed to LF.
            This series and the Binghamton home stand wrap up Thursday morning at 10:35 AM, with P.J. Conlon (3-2, 2.88 ERA) scheduled to make the start for Binghamton.
