The Binghamton Mets jumped ahead early, but the Akron Aeros scored four unanswered for a 4-2 win at NYSEG Stadium Monday. Akron swept the four-game set from the B-Mets.

The B-Mets (48-41) went ahead in the first when Fernando Martinez hit a leadoff triple off Kevin Dixon and scored on Daniel Murphy's groundout. Binghamton's lead grew to 2-0 in the fourth, thanks to doubles by Nick Evans and Caleb Stewart, the latter scoring Evans. After Stewart's double, Dixon (7-5) retired 12 of the final 13 he faced, working 7 1/3 innings.

Akron (56-33) didn't get to B-Mets starter Jonathon Niese until the fifth. Brandon Pinckney opened the scoring with an RBI single before Bronson Sardinha's sacrifice fly scored the tying run. Niese (5-7) allowed a go-ahead two-run homer to Wyatt Toregas in the sixth.

Luis Perdomo got the final five outs for Akron, earning his first save.
