Recapish


            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies and New Hampshire Fisher Cats combined for 18 hits over the first nine innings of game one Wednesday night, yet the two teams still went into official extra innings in a 1-1 tie (since this game was part of a double-header, technically extra innings started in the 8th). The teams combined to go 3-18 with runners in scoring position and left a combined 21 runners on base, but perhaps the biggest reason the score stayed so low is because 20 of the 22 combined hits went for singles. Kevin Kaczmarski played the role of walkoff hero again for the Ponies, something he seems to be excelling at this year.
            The Ponies first hit was a 1st inning single from Luis Guillorme. Binghamton jumped ahead 1-0 in the 2nd when David Thompson went deep for the 15th time this season.

Thompson

            Ricky Knapp allowed twelve base runners over his eight innings of work, so it’s not surprising he only had one perfect inning (the 7th). He allowed two base runners in the 5th, 6th, and 8th innings, but he got the big out as needed in those three frames – the Ponies turned a huge double play behind him in the 5th to help him through a scoreless frame. The only run New Hampshire scored against Knapp came in the 4th, when they strung together three straight singles with two outs, one of which was an infield hit.

            After the 2nd, the Binghamton offense scattered a few singles over the next six frames: Gustavo Nunez in the 3rd and 5th, Kevin Kaczmarski in the 4th, and Thompson in the 6th. Kevin Taylor started the Ponies 9th with a double, but was quickly erased from the bases on a double play.

            Knapp kept Binghamton in the game through the first 8 innings, but he finally passed 100 pitches and had to come out. Cory Burns took over in the 9th and gave Binghamton two scoreless frames, which kept this game going long enough for the Ponies to walkoff.
            Guillorme sparked the 10th inning rally with a leadoff single through the left side. Matt Oberste followed with a single, which put Guillorme in scoring position with nobody out. The scoring threat was threatened when Tomas Nido followed with a double play grounder, which is a problem that’s plagued him this year. Fortunately, the inning wasn’t over, and Luis Guillorme was just 90 feet away from home. The Cats decided they didn’t want to face David Thompson with the game on the line, so they intentionally walked Thompson and Kevin Kaczmarski made them pay for it. Kacz came through with the walkoff single to make the Ponies 2-1 winners.

            Looking ahead, the Ponies have Casey Delgado scheduled to start game two.
