The SeaWolves failed in their attempt to win back-to-back games, falling in the third game of the four-game series at NYSEG Stadium to the Binghamton Mets 13-8.

Binghamton struck for an eight-spot in the bottom of the first inning against Erie starter Duane Below and reliever Cory Hamilton. In the inning, the Mets sent 12 hitters to the plate against the two Erie pitchers. Heavy rains played an issue as both Erie pitchers had trouble with footing on the hill, walking a season-high six hitters in the inning. Five of the eight runs were charged to Below while the other three were charged to Hamilton.

In the top of the second, Erie had a leadoff double by Deik Scram and a one-out walk by Jeff Kunkel before the umpires called for the tarp. A one hour and 49 minute rain delay followed. When the game resumed, Chris White blasted a three-run home run to right making it an 8-3 game.

Erie cut the Mets lead down to a pair in the top of the third against reliever Edgar Ramirez. Rawley Bishop single and Audy Ciriaco walked with one out bringing Scram to the plate. Scram laced his second double of the game left, scoring Bishop. Both Ciriaco and Scram would come home to score on a groundout by Kody Kaiser and a single by Kunkel to make it 8-6.

The Mets went back ahead by five in the bottom of the third when Kirk Niewenhuis connected on a two-out, three run home run against reliever Jose Ortega for an 11-6 lead.

Erie cut into the lead once again in the fifth when Alden Carrithers singled home Scram and Kaiser with the bases loaded making it an 11-8 game.

Erie would get no closer as the Mets added two more runs in the sixth against Josh Rainwater to go ahead 13-8.

Below (3-10) allowed five runs on three hits in 0.2 innings of work. It was his shortest outing of the season.

Erie looks to salvage a series split on Sunday afternoon...1:05 First Pitch.
