Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies bounced back from an early 2-0 deficit to take game two and sweep their double-header with the Harrisburg Senators Sunday afternoon. Bingo start Casey Delgado was knocked out in the 3rd after issuing five walks, but the Ponies reliable pen stepped up to shut the Senators offense down over the final five frames. While the Ponies pen was doing its thing, the Bingo bats were struggling to get anything going. They finally had some chances late, but they wouldn’t have jumped ahead without a yuge error from the Senators in the 6th. Once ahead, Corey Taylor shut things down in the 7th for a 3-2 Ponies win.
            Delgado has been struggling with walks all season, and he’s nearly doubled his 2016 walk output in a similar number of innings this year, but he’s generally been able to settle in to give the Ponies 5+ innings. That was not the case Sunday, however, as he was knocked out before the 5th for just the third time in thirteen starts this year. Three walks from Delgado brought home the first Senators run in the 1st inning, and he would leave trailing 2-1 after issuing his fifth walk of the game in the 3rd.

Plaia

            After doubling in game one, L.J. Mazzilli had an even bigger game two, finishing with three hits while playing a role in both Bingo rallies. His first hit was a single that advanced David Thompson (walk) to second in the 2nd, and then Tyler Moore knocked Thompson in three batters later with a single of his own to make it a 2-1 game.

Mazzilli

Moore

            Scarlyn Reyes was the first Rumble Ponies reliever out of the pen, and he inherited a runner on first with one out in the 3rd. He’d strand that runner on third to escape the jam, and went on to pitch 2.2 scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts. Reyes hasn’t had the best first half for Binghamton, but his last two outings give hope that things are starting to click (6.2 IP, 6 K: 0 BB, 4 H, 0 R). So watch out Eastern League, because he has big league stuff if it ever does: mid-90’s fastball can get up to 96 and a hard upper-80’s slider.
            The Ponies scattered a pair of hits during the middle innings: Mazzilli singled leading off the 4th and Champ Stuart doubled to right in the 5th.

Champ

            Delgado wasn’t the only starter with control issues in game two Sunday, as Wirkin Estevez issued four walks and threw just 52 of 101 pitches for strikes. Because the Ponies ran his pitch count up early, he had to leave after just five innings of work, and the Bingo bats were able to break through against reliever R.C. Orlan. David Thompson reached on an infield single to get the winning rally started. He went to third on Mazzilli’s third hit of the game, and a Patrick Biondi walk loaded the bases for Binghamton with two outs in the frame. It was left to Tyler Moore, and he hit what should’ve been an inning ending gorunder to second, but Corban Joseph made a key throwing error that allowed Binghamton to jump ahead 3-2.

            Corey Taylor had worked a dominant 6th inning, striking out two batters during a perfect frame, so he was sent back out to finish off the double-header sweep in the 7th. He ran into some initial trouble, as the first two grounders against him led to singles. Fortunately, the next two batters also hit grounders, and those two grounders went for three outs to seal the deal with the tying run stranded at third.


            Looking ahead, the Rumble Ponies will give the ball to Corey Oswalt (5-3, 2.13 ERA) with the chance to earn a four-game series win with the Senators Monday night – game time is scheduled for 6:35 PM.
