Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies welcomed Mickey Jannis back to the rotation and got back to their winning ways Friday night in their home opener with Portland. The Sea Dogs jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st behind Rafael Devers ninth homer of the year, but then Jannis shut them down through the 6th as the Rumble Ponies built a 7-2 lead. Bingo reliever Ben Griset stumbled when asked to go a second inning and finish the game, but Cory Burns was able to come in and put out the fire in time for the 30th Rumble Ponies win of the year.
            Jannis allowed a leadoff double to Danny Mars, the Devers homer, and then a Nick Longhi single in the 1st, so things looked bleak in his return to the Bingo rotation (he had been on the DL since his last start on 5/17). But then Jeremy Barfield went down looking, Longhi was erased on the bases to end the 1st, and Jannis settled down to face just two over the minimum during his final five innings of work.

Plaia

            Kevin Kaczmarski’s bat started to heat up in May and he’s taking his hot streak with him into June. He collected his third three-hit game of the past eight days Friday night, and his night started with a single in the 1st.

Kacz

            Kevin Taylor sparked the first Bingo rally with a leadoff single in the 2nd. David Thompson singled him to second and then a Colton Plaia HBP loaded the bases with one out. Champ Stuart was up next and he came through with his only hit of the game, a two run double that tied the game at two.

            Kacz’s second hit came leading off the 3rd, and he quickly came around to score on a Cody Decker double. Decker came home on a wild pitch with Thompson at the plate, though he could’ve waited and walked home on Thompson’s ninth double of the season.

            Jannis struck out two but had to work around a HBP in the 2nd. He added two more strikeouts in the 3rd and another in the 6th as he put together a streak of 13 straight set down, which was broken when Devers singled to LF with two outs in the 6th. Jannis then finished his night with a strikeout of Longhi to end the frame.

Thompson at third, Decker at first

            Kaczmarski ignited another mini-rally with a leadoff single in the 5th. Kacz advanced to second on a passed ball, to third on a groundout, and then scored on Thompson’s third hit of the game. Colton Plaia knocked in Thompson two batters later to make it a 6-2 game.

            Bingo would scratch out one more run in the 6th. Biondi worked a walk leading off, went to third on a Luis Guillorme single, and then scored on a Cody Decker sac fly.

Guillorme

            Luis Mateo was the first out of the Bingo bullpen and he worked a perfect inning, striking out Josh Tobias along the way. Ben Griset took over for the 8th and worked around a two out walk for a scoreless frame. Given the 7-2 lead, Bingo Manager Luis Rojas tried to get a second inning out of the lefty Griset but Griset allowed three hits to four batters in the 9th, with Jeremy Barfield and Mike Olt connecting for RBI doubles. Rojas then brought in Cory Burns and he quickly picked up the final two outs of the game.
            Although this Portland team is very talented, they don’t have a great team record (23-27), and the Rumble Ponies have had their number this year, so Binghamton will look to keep improving their record with two more against Portland on Saturday. The Ponies should expect some good pitching, as Seth Lugo (0-1, 4.50 ERA) and P.J. Conlon (5-3, 3.47 ERA) are expected to start, with game one scheduled for 5:35 PM.
