Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies ended their first half on a low note Sunday afternoon, dropping their finale with Hartford 7-3 to finish the half 46-38. It was the second time Bingo’s starter Marcos Molina was facing the Yard Goats within a two-week span, and both times Hartford has jumped ahead 3-0 in the 1st. The Rumble Ponies would battle back to make this a 4-3 game by the end of the 7th, only to see Hartford pull away again with three runs over the final two frames.
            Hartford scored their 1st inning runs on three doubles, with Omar Carrizales, Brian Mundell, and Dillon Thomas providing the two baggers.


Carrizales

Mundell

Thomas

            Binghamton answered back with a run in the bottom of the 1st. Champ Stuart reached on a fielding error, stole second, and then came around to score on Luis Guillorme’s 16th double of the season.


            Marcos Molina would toss a scoreless 2nd and then struck out the first two batters in the 3rd, but he couldn’t get the third out before another Hartford run crossed the plate. Mundell, Dom Nunez and Thomas strung together three straight singles for the two out run, and the inning only came to a close because the Ponies caught Thomas in no man’s land to end the frame.

Nunez


            The Ponies scattered four hits between the 1st and 7th innings: Gustavo Nunez singled in the 2nd, David Thompson reached on an infield single in the 4th, Champ singled and stole second base in the 5th, and then Matt Oberste led off the 6th with a single. The only time Bingo got two runners on during that span was in the 6th after Thompson worked a walk, but Oberste was erased on the bases in that frame.

Thompson

Champ

Oberste

            Binghamton broke through again in the 7th. Colton Plaia sparked the rally with a leadoff single, went to second on a Dale Burdick single, and then came around to score on a Luis Guillorme single. Burdick came home on a groundout to make this a 4-3 game.

Plaia

Burdick

Guillorme

            With the Rumble Ponies on their tail, the Yard Goats went back on the attack – on that note, I blame the Yard Goats for the bad team names spreading throughout the minors. Hartford scratched out a run against the Ponies pen duo of Ben Griset and Corey Taylor in the 8th, and then added two more against Cory Burns in the 9th.

Guillorme at shortstop

            The game was basically out of reach by the time the Ponies came to the plate in the bottom of the 9th, but they weren’t going to go into the All-Star break quietly. Dale Burdick led off the frame with a triple, and then two walks later the Ponies had the bases loaded with just one out. Hartford brought in closer Shane Broyles to deal with the bases loaded situation and he set down two Ponies in a row to pick up his eleventh save of the season.


            Looking ahead, the Ponies have three days off for the All Star Break and then start the second half in Reading on Thursday.
