Recapish

            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies took a 5-2 loss in their rubber-match with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats Thursday afternoon to fall to 4-7 in 2018. Ponies starter Andrew Church did a commendable job against a tough Eastern League lineup, but the Ponies offense stayed quiet in New Hampshire. Entering the series, the focus for Binghamton was on the big boppers at the top of the Cats lineup, but it was the New Hampshire pitching that had a bigger impact. Every game was close, but Binghamton managed to score just 10 runs over the three games series, so it was tough to win even if the Ponies pitchers were holding Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. mostly in check – they combined to go 5-20. Fisher Cats starter Jordan Romano was in control from the get go in this one, and he outdueled Church over seven innings, allowing just one run on two hits.

Recapish

            After a tight battle required ten innings for a decision in game one, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies and New Hampshire Fisher Cats were right back at it playing another tight contest in game two. The Ponies were able to walkoff victoriously at the end of game one, but the Cats were able to hold on for a 3-2 win to earn the split in game two. The two teams combined for 32 hits over 17 innings Wednesday, but 29 of those hits were singles and they combined to score just eight runs. The Ponies lack of scoring can be traced directly to their success (or lack thereof) with runners in scoring position. They went 1-10 with runners in scoring position during both games (so 2-20 total Wednesday), and they left 17 runners on base during the double-header.

Luis Guillorme and Patrick Mazeika led the way offensively, combining to reach base ten times, and combining for three doubles, three walks, and three runs knocked in, plus they each scored a run. Tommy Milone continued his rehab efforts with Binghamton and Erie got to him for five homeruns, but they were all solo blasts and he still left with an 8-6 lead.
