Recapish
The
Binghamton Rumble Ponies dropped their opener with the New Hampshire Fisher
Cats Monday night, taking a 7-6 loss in extras after they had battled back from
a 6-1 deficit. Matt Harvey made his first rehab appearance with Binghamton
(third overall after two with Brooklyn), and he left trailing 2-1 after a shaky
three innings. There was no piggyback starter waiting in the wings, so the
generally reliable Binghamton bullpen was charged with the final six innings
Monday, and that proved too large a task for the group. The Cats built up their
lead against Corey Taylor and Adonis Uceta through the 6th, and then
added the winning run against P.J. Conlon, who’s getting some bullpen time at
the end of the season.
Per
the Binghamton announcers, scouts behind home plate had Harvey in the 93-94 MPH
(top-95) range. Harvey was fortunate to work around a double in the 1st,
because all four batters he faced made loud contact against him. He bookended
the 2nd inning with strikeouts, but the Cats scratched out a run on
a walk and two soft singles against him in between. Harvey racked up another
strikeout to start the 3rd before allowing a solo homer to Anthony
Alford. He finished his outing by retiring the final two batters of the 3rd,
and then likely went to the pen for another ten or so pitches. As an aside,
this was probably the best defensive lineup Harvey has pitched in front of all
season.

After
The Dark Knight left the mound for the final time, the Rumble Ponies bats
started to come to life. Patrick Biondi reached on an E6 to start the 3rd,
stole second base (#21), and then came around to score the Ponies first run on
a Kevin Kaczmarski single.
Corey
Taylor was the first reliever out of the Ponies pen and he continued the theme
of shaky Ponies pitching over two innings of work. He allowed a pair of runs
(one unearned) on two doubles, two stolen bases, a single and a sac fly that
should’ve been the third out of the 5th.
The
Ponies turned to Adonis Uceta for the 6th and he came out firing
strikes for two straight strikeouts. Then out of nowhere the Cats struck for
another pair of runs, as Derrick Loveless (double) and Jonathan Davis (homer)
connected on back-to-back two-out extra base hits.
With
the game getting out of hand, the Ponies bats struck for a huge bottom of the 6th
to even things up. Luis Guillorme reached on an E3 to spark the big rally.
Kaczmarski and Matt Oberste followed with back-to-back RBI doubles to make this
a 6-3 game. After Kevin Taylor coaxed a walk, David Thompson came up and tied
it with his 14th bomb of the season. Patrick Biondi (single) and
Champ Stuart (E5) reached with two outs later in the frame, but the Ponies
couldn’t get the speed demons home.

With
the game now reset, Ponies Manager Luis Rojas went to Tyler Bashlor for the 7th
and he responded with a perfect frame, striking out all three Cats on 22
pitches.
Cory Burns followed Bashlor with
two scoreless frames to give the Ponies a chance for a walkoff, but the Cats
pen was matching Bingo’s zero-for-zero. The only hit for the Ponies after the 6th
was an 8th inning single from Patrick Biondi.
Rojas
turned to P.J. Conlon when this game reached extras and the lefty stumbled for
the first time as a reliever. L.J. Mazzilli made a throwing error behind
Conlon, which kept the inning alive long enough for the Cats to score the
winning run. Although the run is technically marked as unearned, Conlon earned it in a sense, as he walked in the go-ahead run.
Looking
ahead, the Ponies have Ricky Knapp scheduled to start game two of this series on
Tuesday night.
