Recapish


            After struggling to a 2-4 record earlier to end last week, the Rumble Ponies got back to their dominant ways to start the new week, taking a 7-1 win over Portland in the finale of this five-game set. Although the score technically was close until the 9th – with Binghamton holding onto a 3-1 lead starting in the 4th – the Ponies pitchers were picking Portland’s lineup apart piece-by-piece from the get go, so the Sea Dogs seemed sunk even before the score said they definitely were.
            Matt Oberste connected on the first hit of the game when he reached on a leadoff single in the 2nd, but the Ponies couldn’t get him beyond second base.


            Corey Oswalt walked at least three batters for the sixth time in 24 starts this year, which is a bit often, although his walk rate for the season (7.4%) is just fine. He issued a walk in each of the first two frames, but he was able to work around them for a pair of scoreless frames. He struck out two in the 1st and the Ponies turned a double play behind him to help him through the 2nd. Oswalt then worked his first of two perfect frames in the 3rd.

            Peter Alonso sparked the Ponies first rally with a leadoff double in the 4th. He went to third on an E3 and then L.J. Mazzilli singled him home. The Ponies added two more before the inning was over, with Gustavo Nunez providing an RBI double to cap the scoring in the frame.

            Portland responded with a run in the bottom of the 4th after Oswalt walked the leadoff batter, Michael Chavis. Henry Urrutia singled Chavis to third base two batters later, and then he came home to score Portland’s only run on a groundout. Oswalt would allow the leadoff man to reach again in the 5th, but then retired the final six batters of his night.

            The Ponies threatened but could not add on in the 6th. Kevin Taylor connected on a one-out double and Mazzilli singled him to third base, but then Tyler Moore hit into a double play, which ended the frame.

            Rumbletown Manager Luis Rojas went to the pen in the 7th and brought in lefty Ben Griset. Griset struck out one over a scoreless frame before handing the ball off to Tim Peterson for the 8th. Portland put two runners on against Peterson, but then he struck out the next two batters to secure a scoreless frame.

K #2

            Portland brought in reliever Ty Buttrey for the 9th and he got wild, which is how this game got out of hand. Kevin Taylor and L.J. Mazzilli started the frame with singles against Buttrey, but then he walked four straight batters before hitting the showers. Binghamton still had the bases loaded with nobody out after Buttrey came out, but new reliever Jacob Dahlstrand did a good job by limiting the Ponies to a sac fly.

Mazzilli

            Although the save opportunity was long gone, Rojas still went to hard-throwing righty Tyler Baslor for the 9th. He walked the leadoff batter but then retired three straight to finish the game. Walks have generally been a problem for Tyler Bashlor, but that was just his third walk in now 12.2 IP since joining the Rumble Ponies, so hopefully this is a sign he’s figuring some things out.

K #1

            Looking ahead, the Ponies head home to play out the 2017 season and prepare for a postseason run. They have eight games left and all eight will be played at NYSEG Stadium, and then the first two games of round one will be played at NYSEG, so they are essentially starting a 10-game home stand.
