Salvador Aguilar tossed seven strong innings and drove in two runs and Fernando Martinez hit a game-tying homer, helping the Binghamton Mets to a 5-4 win over the Connecticut Defenders at NYSEG Stadium Saturday. The victory is Binghamton's seventh in 10 games.

Snyder (0-1) ran into trouble again in the fourth. Salomon Manriquez and Jonathan Malo singled before Emmanuel Garcia was hit by a pitch, loading the bases with no outs. Aguilar followed by ripping a single to left-center, scoring Manriquez and Malo, for a 5-3 advantage.
