Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


Jonathan Malo hit a go-ahead two-run single in the top of the 12th, as the Binghamton Mets defeated the Bowie Baysox 6-3 in extra innings at Prince George's Stadium Monday. The win ended Binghamton's losing streak at two games.

The B-Mets (61-56) went ahead in the second on Caleb Stewart's solo homer off Chris Tillman. Bowie (67-50) countered with Jonathan Tucker's game-tying sacrifice fly off Mike Antonini in the third before Reimold's RBI double in the fourth put the Baysox ahead 2-1.

Binghamton knotted the score in the fifth when Ambiorix Concepcion singled, stole second, moved to third on Salomon Manriquez's single and scored on Josh Petersen's base hit to right. However, Matt Wieters homered off Antonini in the sixth to put Bowie on top 3-2.

Malo opened the eighth with a single off Felix Romero and, after being bunted to second by Jose Coronado, scored the tying run on Stewart's double to left, sending the game to extra innings.

Manriquez and Petersen led off the 12th with singles off Gerardo Casadiego (5-6), with both runners advancing into scoring position on a throwing error. Malo followed with a ground ball single up the middle, bringing in Manriquez and Petersen. After taking second on the throw home and stealing third, Malo scored the inning's third run on Bowie's second error of the frame.

Binghamton relievers Casey Hoorelbeke, Tim Lavigne and Elvys Quezada combined for six innings of shutout relief, with Quezada (2-0) tossing the final two frames for the win.

Tuesday, the Binghamton Mets play the second game of a three-game series against the Bowie Baysox. Tobi Stoner (3-4, 4.47) will start for Binghamton against Zach Clark (1-0, 2.74) of Bowie. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Prince George's Stadium with the radio broadcast beginning at 6:50 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
