B-Mets' Skid Hits Four After 10-1 Loss

Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


BINGHAMTON, NY - The Akron Aeros used eight hits, eight walks, and three Binghamton errors to hand the B-Mets a 10-1 defeat tonight at NYSEG Stadium. It is Binghamton's fourth consecutive loss and sixth in seven games.

After scoring the game's first run off Binghamton Mets starter Edgar Ramirez in the second inning, the Aeros added two more in the fourth off Dylan Owen. With two outs and runners on first and second, Kyle Bellows sent a drive to deep centerfield that Lorenzo Scott could not reel in as the ball fell for a triple.

The B-Mets plated their only run of the game in the fourth inning. First baseman Eric Campbell worked out a one-out walk, advanced to second on Jose Coronado's single to right field, and moved up to third when Kai Gronauer walked on four pitches. Carlos Guzman came through with his sixth RBI of the season by bringing Campbell home with a sacrifice fly to right field.

The B-Mets allowed another run in the fifth before the game came undone in the sixth. After retiring the leadoff batter, reliever Eric Niesen allowed a single and walked two to load the bases. The southpaw induced Jordan Henry to bounce into a fielder's choice as Tim Fedroff was forced out at home for the second out.

The wheels would come off, though, as Niesen walked Matt Lawson to force in a run and then gave up a bases-clearing single to Juan Diaz. Brahiam Maldonado's fielding error in left field on the hit allowed Matt Lawson to score all the way from first base.

Two pitches later, catcher Chun Chen stroked a two-run home run over the right centerfield wall for his second homer in as many days. It was the fourth straight game in which Binghamton has allowed at least five runs in a single inning.

With the 10-1 lead, the Aeros were on cruise control as relievers Chen-Chang Lee and Kyle Landis combined to post five shutout innings.

In the ninth, outfielder Raul Reyes worked around two walks to throw a scoreless inning of relief in his professional pitching debut.

The B-Mets (10-12) will be back in action tomorrow against the Aeros (11-11) with first pitch set for 1:05pm. RHP Brandon Moore will oppose RHP Joe Gardner.
