Recapish

            It took twelve innings, but the Rumble Ponies walked off on a walk to clinch their fifth straight series win Wednesday night against Erie. Rehabbing Tommy Milona made his third start since joining the Rumble Ponies and ran into the same problem that’s plagued him his whole career: homeruns. He gave up two and left down 3-0 in the 6^th, but his teammates rallied to tie this game in the 9^th and walkoff with a win in the 12^th. Luis Guillorme, Matt Oberste, and David Thompson led the way offensively for Binghamton, plus Gustavo Nunez had the game tying hit and nearly connected on the walkoff hit in the 11^th.

Recapish

            Coming off a start that earned him EL Pitcher of the Week honors, Corey Oswalt nearly matched his seven shutout innings from last week as the Binghamton Rumble Ponies took their opener with Erie 3-0 Tuesday night. It was the Ponies 17^th shutout of the season, which is most in the EL, and the 6.2 shutout innings lowered Oswalt’s ERA to 2.28, which is best in all of Double-A baseball (next closest is 2.53, EL average is 4.11). The Ponies scored all three of their runs on three extra base hits – two that left the park and one that came up just short – over the first two innings, and the Bingo bullpen was nearly perfect in relief of Oswalt to finish off the shutout.

Recapish

            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies survived a shootout with Harrisburg Sunday afternoon to complete their sweep of the Senators. Both teams came out firing and the Senators held a 6-5 lead after three, but Binghamton scored the last three runs for an 8-6 win. The bullpen has been one of Binghamton’s biggest strengths all season long and it shined again Sunday: Ben Griset, Kelly Secrest, recently acquired Drew Smith, and recently promoted Tyler Bashlor combined for 6.1 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. Both teams combined for double-digit hits and the Ponies got contributions up and down the lineup for sixteen hits and five walks: Luis Guillorme was on base five times, David Thompson went deep as part of a multi-hit game, and Gustavo Nunez connected on an RBI double and a homerun.
