Recap
Although
they wouldn’t find out until a hour or so after their game ended, the
Binghamton Mets win over Reading combined with the Trenton Thunder’s eventual
loss means that the B-Mets are heading to the Eastern League playoffs for a
third straight season. Binghamton absolutely walloped Reading Wednesday night
in baseball town, scoring a run in each of the first 6 frames en route to a
16-4 victory. It marked the 10th time in Binghamton history that
they scored at least 16 runs in a game, and the first time since they scored 17
back on 6/8/2008. B-Mets starter Tyler Pill not only gave Binghamton 7 strong
innings on the mound, he also went 3-5 with a double at the plate – he had the
same number of hits as Reading after 5.5 innings were in the books.
This
game was one-sided from the start and full of offense, so I’ll let the
highlights below tell the story instead of boring you with more words now. This
series wraps up Thursday at 6:35, with Mickey Jannis (0-1, 5.06 ERA) scheduled
to face Ethan Martin (3-0, 3.40 ERA).
Since they were on the road, the
B-Mets did not have any champagne or celebrations ready for when Trenton lost,
so they will just have to celebrate when they get home Friday (and I’d guess the
B-Mets booster club will be waiting for when they do!). I’m guessing nobody is
happier about them not celebrating than the Reading clubhouse manager, because
that would’ve been 2 clubhouse celebrations within one 4-game series (Reading
officially clinched Monday night).
L.J.
Mazzilli started his big night with a double in the 1st inning, and
then scored on a sac fly two batters later.
The
B-Mets got another leadoff double in the 2nd inning, this time from
Jonathan Galvez. The next four Binghamton batters would reach on 3 singles and
a walk to extend the lead to 4-0.
Binghamton
doubled their lead with four runs in the 3rd inning. Galvez singled
Benson to 3B after a leadoff walk, and then Jared King started a streak of 3
straight RBI singles two batters later. The fourth run would come home on a sac
fly from Josh Rodriguez, his second of the game.
Joe
Benson and Xorge Carrillo launched solo homeruns for the B-Mets in the 4th
inning.
Brock
Stassi got the Fightins on the board with a two run blast in the bottom of the
4th inning.
Mazzilli
sparked another rally for Binghamton in the 5th with a leadoff
single. J Rod singled him to 2B two batters later, and then Belnome doubled
them both home. Galvez would bring home Belnome later in the frame with an RBI
single into CF.
Brian
Pointer was used as a pinch hitter for Reading in the 5th and
doubled to RF, which advanced Brodie Greene (reached on an E5) to 3B with 0
outs, and Reading would get both runners home on a pair of RBI groundouts.
Pill
capped his big night at the plate with a leadoff double in the 6th
inning. Mazzilli and T.J. Rivera followed with singles to bring Pill around and
give Binghamton a 14-4 lead.
Carrillo
hit his second homerun of the night in the 9th to extend the B-Mets
lead to 12 runs.
Defensive Highlights
Joe
Benson made the most awkwardly good play to end the 2nd inning.
