Recapish

            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies took a second straight 2-1 loss to the Portland Sea Dogs in game one Friday evening, as they were unable to overcome two 1^st inning runs. Ponies starter Mickey Jannis allowed those two runs on three hits in the 1^st inning and then nothing else after that. Jannis retired the final 17 Portland batters in a row, which left the door wide open for a Bingo comeback, but Sea Dogs starter (and one-time Mets draft pick) Teddy Stankiewicz was just as effective. Stankiewicz struck out five and took a shutout into the 6^th, but finished two outs shy of the complete game win.

            Three of the first four Ponies batters connected on hits against Jannis in the 1^st, and the Sea Dogs came a homerun shy of a team cycle during the stretch: Danny Mars tripled, Chad De La Guerra doubled Mars home, and then Jeremy Barfield singled De La Guerra home with the ‘game-winning RBI’ (they used to keep track of that stat).

After the initial problems, Jannis settled in for another great outing. He’s been very reliable for Binghamton this year, so he should at least be going to Vegas next year, and could actually work his way into some time with the Mets in 2018-19.

            The Ponies were slow to get anything going against Stankiewicz. Patrick Biondi connected on the first Binghamton hit with two outs in the 3^rd. Biondi stole second but nothing came of it. Kevin Kaczmarski led off the 4^th with a single of his own, but he was caught stealing in the frame. Kevin Taylor singled with one out in the 5^th and stayed there the rest of the inning.

            Binghamton finally broke through on the scoreboard in the 6^th thanks to the speed of Patrick Biondi. Biondi led off the frame with a triple to RF and came home on a groundout to make this a 2-1 game.

            Peter Alonso connected on his first Double-A hit against Stankiewicz in the 7^th, and then Kevin Taylor coaxed a walk, so Portland brought in reliever Ty Buttrey to finish the game. Buttrey allowed some loud contact, but both balls in play led to outs, which put an end to game one.

            Looking ahead, the Ponies give the ball to P.J. Conlon for his first start in three weeks in game two.
