Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s bats finally came alive in Thursday’s finale with Sacramento, but the team still took an 8-7 loss to the River Cats to get swept out of town. 51s starter Robert Gsellman was sent down for this start so he could work on his stuff over about 100 pitches and not worry about the results, which, unfortunately for Las Vegas, got ugly. The 51s battled all the way back for a 9^th inning tie after Gsellman left, but then the River Cats won on a walkoff in the bottom half anyway.

Recapish

            After Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson recently mentioned that he would need to see rehabbing starter Robert Gsellman pitching better before taking him off his rehab, Gsellman responded by pitching significantly better. The young righty responded to the challenge with six shutout innings for the Rumble Ponies on Friday, striking out five in what was easily his best rehab start to date. His outing came in game one of a double-header between the Rumble Ponies and Akron, and a full-strength Gsellman probably finishes the complete game shutout, but this was just his fourth game back, so he was still on a pitch limit. While Gsellman was the star attraction, his teammates quietly put up six to easily take the opener 6-1.

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.
