Recapish
After
taking game one 5-1 behind Seth Lugo, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies turned to
one of their top starters of 2017 to complete the double-header sweep in game
two. The game turned into a pitcher’s duel between P.J. Conlon and Portland
starter Jacob Dahlstrand, with neither side budging through the first five
innings. With less than 90 pitches on his budget, Conlon was allowed to start
the 6th, which backfired when he allowed a two run homer with pitch
number 103. Tim Peterson kept Portland off the board the rest of the way, but
the Bingo offense couldn’t get anyone home.
Red
Sox stud third base prospect Rafael Devers stayed hot in game two with his 11th
double of the season (he hit homer number ten in game one). Conlon struck out
Danny Mars and Nick Longhi to strand Devers at second in the frame.

| Devers |
Conlon
started the 2nd with a strikeout of Jeremy Barfield, but then issued
his first of two walks, both of which came to Mike Olt. Fortunately, the Rumble
Ponies turned a double play behind Conlon in the 2nd to erase the
first walk.

With
two on and two outs in the 3rd, Conlon struck out Rafael Devers
swinging to put an end to the threat.
Luis
Guillorme and Tomas Nido singled for the Rumble Ponies in the 3rd,
but Nido was thrown out trying to extend his hit into a double, and Guillorme
was stranded at third.

Conlon
added another strikeout of Barfield to his total in the 4th, but
then the next two reached to give Portland another two out scoring threat.
However, Jake DePew hit a grounder to Gustavo Nunez for an inning ending force
out.
Nunez
and Patrick Biondi collected back-to-back singles to give the Ponies a two out
threat of their own in the 4th, but they couldn’t cash in.

The
Sea Dogs went down in order during the 5th, which left Devers as the
leadoff batter in the 6th – best he’s up with no runner on base.
Devers went swinging to start the 6th, but then a David Thompson
throwing error put Nick Longhi on first and forced Conlon to go to the stretch.
Facing Barfield for the third time, but first from the stretch, Conlon allowed
a two run blast to LF, which gave Portland the decisive 2-0 lead.
Tim
Peterson allowed a pair of base runners in the 6th, but then DePew
hit a grounder to Guillorme for an inning ending double play.

Matt
Oberste connected for his eighth double of the year in the Bingo half of the 6th,
which gave the Ponies one last threat. David Thompson followed with a grounder
to short and Oberste made the mistake of trying to advance on the play, getting
thrown out at third instead.

With
a Bingo split of the double-header and a Trenton win, the Rumble Ponies fell to
2.5 games behind the division-leading Trenton Thunder Saturday (they still have
the second best record in the EL though). They did win the first two games of
this series though, so they have a chance for a series win behind Donovan Hand
(3-1, 3.02 ERA) on Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PM and then the Rumble Ponies have an off day Monday.
