Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies streak of great pitching continued Tuesday night, as they nearly combined to shutout the best team in the Eastern League during a 3-1 win. Robert Gsellman (three innings), Casey Delgado (four), and Tim Peterson (one) combined for eight shutout innings and handed a 3-0 lead off to Cory Burns for the 9th, but the Thunder were able to scratch out a run before Burns racked up his 15th save of the season. Offensively, Matt Oberste stayed red-hot at the dish with his fourth multi-hit game over the past week, and he provided some of the legwork during both innings the Ponies scored runs.
            Gsellman was making his second rehab start with the Ponies and it went much better than his first one, when he couldn’t make it out of the 1st inning. He threw strikes, had a solid whiff rate, and finished with two strikeouts over his three scoreless frames. Both hits allowed came with two outs and he finished his night with a perfect 3rd.

            Binghamton had a chance to jump ahead in the 1st, when Juan Lagares and Matt Oberste connected on back-to-back singles, but Binghamton couldn’t get Lagares home from third.

            While Gsellman was getting congratulations handshakes in the dugout after finishing his night, the Ponies were going out and taking a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 3rd. Luis Guillorme sparked the rally with a leadoff single, moved up to second base on a Lagares single, to third on a HBP, and then scored on a bases loaded walk. Lagares scored the second run on a groundout.

            Just like last time Gsellman made a rehab start, Casey Delgado came out of the Bingo pen for a piggyback start and was very effective. He finished with four strikeouts over his four scoreless, and the Thunder didn’t really put together any good scoring threats while he was on the mound,

            The Ponies added an insurance run in the 5th. Luis Guillorme started the frame by drawing a walk, went to second on Matt Oberste’s second single, and then Kevin Taylor knocked him in with an RBI single.

            After that, the Ponies managed just two hits: an L.J. Mazzilli double in the 6th and a David Thompson single in the 8th.

            Tim Peterson worked a perfect 8th in relief of Delgado, but the 9th didn’t go as smoothly for Cory Burns. He allowed two hits and a walk, and the Thunder put the tying run on second with two outs in the frame before a pop out ended things.
            Looking ahead, the Ponies have Corey Oswalt scheduled for game two, and two chances to take this series from the Eastern League’s best team.
