Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies were riding high with a 5-0 lead as Mickey Jannis took the hill in the 5th, but two errors, three singles, and a HBP later, Jannis was coming out with just two outs recorded and the lead down to 5-2. Then Jannis had to watch from the bench as Corey Taylor allowed all three runners he inherited to score, plus one more to give the Harrisburg Senators a lead. The Ponies were able to tie the game up with a run in the 7th, and then Cody Decker (who made the first error of the 5th) put Bingo ahead for good with a grand slam to left center.
            Jannis had issued a pair of walks, but he was mostly cruising through the first four innings, and had a perfect 4th with two strikeouts. As expected, he was mostly using his knuckler (which they were calling in the mid-70’s), but he mixed in his 86 MPH fastball nicely at times too. He struck out five over the first four innings, all shown below.

86 MPH

Thompson at third

            The Rumble Ponies started to build their initial lead with a two run 2nd inning. Kevin Taylor and David Thompson got the frame started with back-to-back singles, but then the Ponies had to do nothing except not swing, as they took three straight walks for two runs – even Jannis took a walk.



            Kevin Kaczmarski singled and stole second in the 3rd inning (his eighth stolen base of the year), but was thrown out trying to score on a fly ball to RF to end the frame.


            The Ponies added on with three more in the 4th. L.J. Mazzilli and Patrick Biondi worked walks ahead of a Colton Plaia double to center field, which brought them both home. Luis Guillorme doubled Plaia home two batters later, which was his ninth double of the season and made it a 5-0 game. Kacz followed with a single to RF, but Guillorme had to hold up at third on the play, and then the Ponies stranded both in scoring position.

Guillorme

Kacz

            I mostly summed up most of the Harrisburg 5th in the intro, but the big hit for the Senators was a bases clearing double off the bat of Mario Lisson. Taylor bounced back with a quick 6th, but the damage had already been done. Decker and L.J. Mazzilli committed the errors and only one of the runs charged to Jannis was earned.
            Kacz picked up his third hit of the game leading off the 7th and it led to the tying run. He went to second on a Decker single and then scored on an RBI groundout from David Thompson – Thompson's sac fly attempt didn’t work earlier, so he stuck to the ground game this time.

Decker

            Luis Mateo took over from the Bingo pen in the 7th and was throwing straight filth over two scoreless innings. There was a moment in the 7th when he lost control – he issued a walk and then fell behind 3-1 on the next batter – but then Mateo made an adjustment and finished his outing by striking out five of the final six batters he saw.

            Biondi started the Bingo 8th with a single but was replaced on the bases by Plaia due to a fielder’s choice. Plaia went to second on a Mier single and to third on a Guillorme walk, which led to a pitching change for Harrisburg. With the bases loaded, red-hot Kevin Kaczmarski got the first chance, but he went down swinging for the second out of the frame. It came down to Cody Decker and he muscled up for a grannie to make this a 10-6 game. Taylor followed with a double, but the Ponies were unable to further pad their lead.

Taylor

            After Mateo’s fine work, Tim Peterson came out for the 9th and allowed a leadoff single. The next batter hit a double play grounder to Luis Guillorme to erase the base runner, so no harm, no foul. Peterson then finished the game with a strikeout of Stephen Perez to push the Ponies eleven games above .500.



            These two square off in a matchup of tough lefties Saturday at 6:00 PM. P.J. Conlon (5-4, 3.32 ERA) gets the start for Binghamton opposite Matthew Crownover (0-1, 6.75 ERA), who is making his second Double-A start after posting a 1.94 ERA in the Carolina league.
