Recapish
The
Binghamton Rumble Ponies took a tough walkoff loss Saturday night in
Harrisburg, as the Senators came back twice to even this three game series. The
game featured a matchup of two tough lefties – P.J Conlon for Binghamton and
Matthew Crownover for Harrisburg. Both allowed three runs in one frame but
nothing over the rest of their outing, though Conlon stuck around for an extra
two innings for the Rumble Ponies. After Binghamton took a 4-3 lead in the 8th
Cory Burns came in and worked a perfect frame in relief of Conlon.
Unfortunately, the Ponies tried to get a second inning out of Burns and the 9th
imploded on him.
The
Rumble Ponies connected for two hits in the 1st but they were
separated by a double play, so nothing came of it. Champ Stuart started the
game with a single and Tomas Nido hit a well struck double two batters later.

Binghamton
responded with a double play of their own turned behind Conlon in the bottom of
the 1st, which helped him also erase a leadoff single.
After
hitting a grand slam in game one – which was the game winning hit – Cody Decker
led off the 2nd with his seventh homer of the year. The Ponies
weren’t done yet though, as Kevin Kaczmarski struck his sixth double of the
season to left field two batters later and eventually came around to score. He
went to third on a Jio Mier single and then Conlon brought him home with his
third hit of the season. Champ capped the scoring with another Bingo double
(also his sixth) to make it 3-0.

Conlon
had retired nine straight since the 1st inning single when Mario
Lisson stepped up in the 4th. Lisson took Conlon deep to get the
Senators on the board, and then Neftali Soto took Conlon deep two batters later
to tie the game at three. Harrisburg connected for four of their hits off
Conlon in this frame (he allowed seven), so it was clearly his worst, but he finished
it with his only strikeout of the game. Conlon would need 31 pitches in the 4th
but was able to go 7 IP because he needed just 11-14 pitches for the other six
frames.

After
that, neither side did much until the 8th. Kevin Taylor singled in
the 5th, but Bingo left the bases loaded (a pair of walks helped
them load it). Nido picked up his second hit of the game when he singled in the
7th, and then another pair of walks loaded the bases for Binghamton,
but a double play grounder ended the threat.

In
the 8th, Matt Oberste came up as a pinch hitter for Conlon and he
did something for the first time in Rumble Ponies franchise history: he hit a
pinch hit homerun. It was the first pinch-hit homer for a Binghamton player
since Jared King hit one in 2015, and it gave the Ponies a 4-3 lead.
Taylor
added another single in the 9th, and again a pair of walks loaded
the bases for Binghamton, and again they failed to get any runs home – some insurance
would’ve been huge.
After
a perfect 8th, Cory Burns came out and walked the first batter of
the 9th – this starts well, it can only end well too. Harrisburg sac
bunted that runner to second, which put the tying run in scoring position with
just one out. Next batter hit a comebacker to Burns, which he threw away for a
three base error, and led to the tying run coming around to score. Khayyan
Norfork then came through with a walkoff single to left to give the Senators a
5-4 win.

The
loss pushed Binghamton to four games behind Trenton in the Eastern division,
with Reading now just one game out of second place. The Rumble Ponies will look
to get back to their series winning ways Sunday at 3:30 PM, but no starter
had been announced as of this posting.
