Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies evened their series in Hartford thanks to a huge effort from their starter Corey Oswalt. Oswalt did everything short of completing his start Tuesday night in Hartford, striking out six over 6.2 scoreless innings and leaving with a 1-0 lead that he provided for himself when he launched a solo blast in the 6th. The game was a pitcher’s duel throughout and the Binghamton pen did not let Oswalt down, as they retired the final seven batters of the game consecutively in relief of the 23-year old righty.
            Oswalt allowed ten base runners, so it’s not like he was cruising in this start, but he had good defense behind him and was able to get some key outs, including strikeouts to end the 3rd and 4th innings with runners in scoring position. Stadium gun was a little hot, but it looked like he was low-90’s with his heater throughout much of the start, which is where he’s needed to be to have success this year. Hartford surely would’ve scored at least one run over the first two innings if not for the fine defensive efforts from Champ Stuart in CF.

            David Thompson reached for a single to extend his hit streak to eleven games (4 2B, 4 HR, 1.225 OPS during) in the 2nd, but it led to nothing for Binghamton.


            Oswalt sandwiched both the 3rd and 4th innings with strikeouts: Omar Carrizales, Brian Mundell, Dom Nunez, and Ryan Castellani. In between, he allowed a two out double and stolen base in the 3rd, and Hartford loaded the bases against him with one out in the 4th. He got out of the bases loaded situation with some help of his catcher Tomas Nido, as Nido picked a runner off at third for the second out of the frame. Hartford led off the 5th with a single against Oswalt, but then Brendan Rodgers grounded into a double play and Max White went down swinging to end the frame.

            Amazingly, the Rumble Ponies didn’t connect for another hit until the 6th, when Corey Oswalt led off the frame with a solo blast to LF. Luis Guillorme added a single in the frame.

            After giving himself a 1-0 lead, Oswalt went to the mound and tossed his only perfect frame of the night, adding another strikeout of Nunez to his total. He allowed a one out single in the 7th, which prevented him from finishing the inning, as his pitch count had reached a season high 108. Tim Peterson took over and retired the final batter of the 7th to keep the shutout intact.

K #6

            Tomas Nido collected his single in the 7th.


            The Ponies strung together three straight hits in the 8th to add an insurance run. Guillorme reached on a two out single to RF, went to second on a Kevin Kaczmarski single, and then Matt Oberste brought him home with a single to LF.

            Working with a 2-0 lead, Peterson and Cory Burns would retire the final six in a row. Peterson was working on back-to-back nights for Binghamton, which isn’t as common in the Mets minor league pens, especially when there isn’t an obvious need for it. Peterson struck out Max White during a perfect 8th.


            After evening the series Tuesday, the Ponies look to gain a 2-1 edge in the series Wednesday night behind Marcos Molina (0-2, 4.15 ERA). Game time is scheduled for 7:05 PM, and the Ponies will face off against Yency Almonte (2-3, 1.96 ERA).
