Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


Salvador Aguilar tossed a season-high seven shutout innings, helping the Binghamton Mets to a 1-0 win over the Harrisburg Senators at NYSEG Stadium Thursday. The victory ends Binghamton's two-game losing streak, as they finish their six-game homestand with a 4-2 mark. For most of the game, Aguilar (7-1) was locked in a pitchers' duel with Harrisburg's Marco Estrada. Estrada struck out six over six scoreless innings, while Aguilar held the Senators to two hits, fanning six as well.

The B-Mets (35-30) didn't break the scoreless tie until the seventh. Salomon Manriquez greeted reliever Luis Atilano with a leadoff single. Josh Petersen then laid down a bunt that Atilano (0-1) threw into centerfield for an error. Two batters later, pinch-hitter Daniel Murphy walked, loading the bases for Eric Reed. Reed followed with a line-drive single to left, scoring Manriquez.

Harrisburg (36-28) was kept off the scoreboard by relievers Eude Brito, who tossed a 1-2-3 eighth, and Eddie Kunz, who worked around two errors in the ninth to notch his 16th save in 18 chances.

Friday, the Binghamton Mets open a three-game series against the New Britain Rock Cats. Tobi Stoner (St. Lucie: 1-5, 2.60) will start for the B-Mets against Jay Rainville (5-6, 7.58) of New Britain. The first pitch is slated for 6:35 p.m. at New Britain Stadium with the radio broadcast starting at 6:20 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
