Recapish
It
took twelve innings, but the Rumble Ponies walked off on a walk to clinch their
fifth straight series win Wednesday night against Erie. Rehabbing Tommy Milona
made his third start since joining the Rumble Ponies and ran into the same
problem that’s plagued him his whole career: homeruns. He gave up two and left
down 3-0 in the 6th, but his teammates rallied to tie this game in
the 9th and walkoff with a win in the 12th. Luis
Guillorme, Matt Oberste, and David Thompson led the way offensively for
Binghamton, plus Gustavo Nunez had the game tying hit and nearly connected on
the walkoff hit in the 11th.
Milone
allowed eight hits total, and five went for extra bases. Christin Stewart and
A.J. Simcox took him deep for the three runs, but Gabriel Quintana kept the
pressure on Milone with three doubles, the last of which knocked him out of the
game.
 |
| Guillorme at second |
The
Ponies had only a few scoring chances against Erie starter A.J. Ladwig before
finally breaking through in the 7th. Luis Guillorme wasted little
time extending his on base streak to 29 games with a leadoff walk in the bottom
of the 1st, but he was erased on the bases during a double play
(K/CS). Matt Oberste led off the Bingo 2nd with a single and went to
second on a walk, but then never advanced beyond that. David Thompson led off
the 5th with a single, but he was also erased on the bases during a
double play (643). Guillorme and Juan Lagares connected on back-to-back singles
in the 6th, but another double play (643) ended that threat.

Corey
Taylor took over for Milone with two outs in the 6th and stranded a
runner on second base. He bailed his starter out of a tough situation and gave
the Ponies 2.1 scoreless innings of relief, which kept the door open for a come
back.
 |
| Thompson at third |
The
Ponies come back efforts started in the bottom of the 7th. Oberste
worked a leadoff walk, went to second on a David Thompson single, to third on a
Nunez single, and then came around to score with Thompson on a Patrick Biondi bunt single.

Guillorme
led off the 8th with a single and Dale Burdick singled him up to
second base two batters later, but then another double play (543) cut short a
Ponies scoring opportunity.

With
just under a month of regular season minor league action and P.J. Conlon
quickly approaching his 2016 innings total, the Mets have decided to back off
him for a start or two. He worked a scoreless frame out of the Ponies pen in
the 9th, striking out two and needing just eleven pitches. Conlon is
likely not a candidate for a September callup given the Mets 40-man roster
crunch (a lot of guys will need Rule-V protection this winter and Conlon is not
one of them), but the Ponies are on pace for some playoff action, and I’m sure
Conlon would rather save his innings for those games.
Down
3-2 with one out in the bottom of the 9th, David Thompson came up
and smacked his first triple of the year to center field. Nunez followed with
an RBI double to bring him home and suddenly this game was going to extras.

Tim
Peterson was huge for the Ponies in extras. He struck out four over two
scoreless, limiting Erie to just one single while he was on the mound.
The
Ponies had a chance to make Peterson a winner in the 11th, as Matt
Oberste started the bottom half of the inning with his 23rd double
of the season. Kevin Kaczmarski got Oberste to third with one out, but then
Thompson was intentionally walked to get to the bottom of the order. Nunez
flared one into left field that nearly fell in for a potential game winner, but
Stewart made a very nice sliding catch at the last moment to rob him of the
moment – unless the ball bounced away from Stewart, it would’ve been tough for
Oberste to score on the play anyway, as he had to hold the bag at third.
Drew
Smith kept the excellent pen work going with a scoreless 12th for
Binghamton, which set him up to earn his second win in four appearances since
the Mets traded Lucas Duda for him.
Luis
Guillorme sparked the winning run with a one out single in the 12th.
This was his fourth time on base Wednesday, but it was the only frame Guillorme
reached that didn’t also have a Ponies double play. Guillorme went to second on
a Champ Stuart single and then up to third on a fielder’s choice, which loaded
the bases for Matt Oberste.
Oberste has probably been the
Ponies most consistent hitter for several months at this point, and he’s been
very hot the past two weeks (1.048 OPS over his last 52 PA), so he’s exactly
who the Binghamton faithful in attendance wanted to see up in that spot. He’s
also had a nice 2.5-point bump in his walk rate with the Ponies this year, and
that added patience paid off in the 12th. Oberste worked a walk from
Adam Ravenelle to bring home the game-winning run for Binghamton and send
everyone home happy.

Looking
ahead, the Ponies have a chance to sweep the Sea Wolves out of town behind
Casey Delgado (8-5, 5.13 ERA) Thursday night, with game time scheduled for 6:35
PM.
