Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


Caleb Stewart had a pair of hits and Miguel Negron drove in a run, but the Binghamton Mets fell to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 3-1 at MerchantsAuto.com Stadium Tuesday. The loss is Binghamton's fifth straight, as they fell to 1-5 on their eight-game road trip.

New Hampshire (9-5) got on the board in the first when Dustin Majewski led off with a single, moved to second on a Kevin Mulvey balk and to third on a wild pitch before scoring on Robinzon Diaz's groundout.

The Fisher Cats got a pair of unearned runs in the fourth. Sergio Santos started the rally with a double before Mulvey (1-3) hit Ryan Klosterman with a pitch. Aaron Mathews then hit a comebacker that Mulvey threw into centerfield for an error, allowing Santos to score. David Smith made it 3-0 when he drove home Klosterman with a sacrifice fly.

Binghamton (3-9) was held without a baserunner for the first five innings by New Hampshire starter Jesse Litsch (2-1), who was perfect until Stewart led off the sixth with single. The B-Mets also had the leadoff man on in the seventh and eighth, but failed to score.

Nic Jackson led off the ninth with a double off reliever Jordan DeJong before moving to third on Mark Kiger's groundout. Negron scored Jackson with a base hit to left. However, Jo Matumoto earned his first save of the year by striking out Mike Carp and Brett Harper to end the game.

Wednesday, the B-Mets play the third game of their four-game series at New Hampshire. Jose Sanchez (0-0, 2.00) gets the start for the B-Mets against Mike MacDonald (3-0, 2.45) of New Hampshire. Game time is 6:35 from Merchantsauto.com Stadium with the radio broadcast starting at 6:20 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
