Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies and Portland Sea Dogs were scheduled for two Saturday evening, with major league rehabber Seth Lugo starting for the home team in game one. Lugo was very sharp and needed just 94 pitches for the 7-inning complete game. The only run Lugo allowed came on the only extra base hit against him all day, a massive oppo taco blast for Rafael Devers in the 4th (announcers said ball was hit into the wind too!). Tomas Nido went deep for the Ponies during a big 1st inning outburst, and the game was never close after that.
            Lugo started each of the first three innings with a strikeout and faced the minimum through three. His first strikeout came on 94 MPH heat against Danny Mars. It sounded like the next two strikeouts came on heaters too, though no velocity was given. The Rumble Ponies turned a double play behind Lugo in the 2nd to erase a Jeremy Barfield single.

            Kevin Kaczmarski worked a walk in his first PA of the day and then came around to score on Tomas Nido’s fourth homer of the season. Cody Decker followed with a single, went to second on a walk to Kevin Taylor, and to third on a Matt Oberste single as the Ponies loaded the bases. Decker and Taylor came home on a Gustavo Nunez single, but Oberste was thrown out at third on the play to end the rally.

            Luis Guillorme reached on an infield single in the 2nd, but the inning was cut-short after a double play.

            Taylor singled with one out in the 3rd and came home on David Thompson’s tenth double of the year two batters later.

            Champ Stuart led off the 4th with a single, stole second and then went to third on a Kaczmarski single, but another Bingo double play ended a potential rally before it started.

            Lugo started and ended the 6th inning with strikeouts, but the three Portland batters to face him between those strikeouts singled. Fortunately, Champ Stuart threw out Danny Mars trying to extend his hit into a double. Lugo then made it four straight strikeouts to end the game when he struck out the side during the 7th.

            After two straight wins against Portland to start the series, the Rumble Ponies turned to P.J. Conlon for game two, which started thirty minutes after this game ended.
