Recapish

            It hasn’t happened often this season, but the Binghamton Rumble Ponies flexed some homer power for a third straight win over Erie Wednesday. Kevin Kaczmarski went deep two batters into the bottom of the 1^st and then Peter Alonso followed with his first Double-A homer. Alonso added another monster solo blast later in the game to give Binghamton a three-homer game, which has been an uncommon feat in 2017. The power display came in support of Mickey Jannis, who took a shutout into the 8^th and finished one out shy of eight scoreless.

            Since I already mentioned the 1^st inning homers for Binghamton, might as well start there. The two homers led to a 3-0 lead because Luis Guillorme started the frame with yet another walk.

            Guillorme singled home L.J. Mazzilli after he doubled in the 2^nd to make this a 4-0 game.

            Rumbletown starter Mickey Jannis cruised through much of this start, facing the minimum in five of the eight frames he pitched in. The Sea Wolves best threat early came when Mike Gerber and Christin Stewart both singled in the 4^th inning, but Steven Moya followed with an inning ending double play grounder, so that threat did not last long.

            Meanwhile, the Ponies bats went quiet for a few innings after the early scoring outburst. However, Pete Alonso woke everyone up in the 6^th when he connected on a loud homer to the railyard to make this a 5-0 game. The Ponies didn’t score again after that, but they did add three more hits: Tomas Nido singled later in the 6^th, Luis Giullorme hit his 20^th double of the season in the 7^th, and David Thompson connected on his 29^th double in the 8^th.

            Erie finally broke through with two outs in the top of the 8^th. Gabriel Quintana singled to keep the inning alive and then came around to score on an infield single two batters later.

Rumbletown Manager Luis Rojas went to his bullpen after the shutout was gone, bringing in lefty P.J. Conlon to close things out. Conlon struck out Mike Gerber to clean up the 8^th inning mess and then stuck around for a scoreless 9^th to earn his first save of the year.

            Looking ahead, the Rumble Ponies will send Casey Delgado to the hill with a chance to sweep Erie out of town Thursday.
