Carl Loadenthal smacked two hits for the second straight game and the bullpen held its own in 7-1 victory at Waterfront Park in Trenton Sunday afternoon. Loadenthal went 2-4 with a three-run triple and he scored Binghamton's first run of the day in the second inning.

The B-Mets used four different pitchers to beat the Thunder as Edgar Ramirez, typically a reliever, was called upon to start and gave the team three innings of shutout work.

Meanwhile, Binghamton (26-36) plated a run in the second inning off starter Wilkin De La Rosa as Loadenthal and Josh Petersen opened up the frame with singles to put runners at the corners. Petersen proceeded to get picked off and Jose Coronado struck out looking, leading to Ruben Tejada. Tejada slapped a liner off the glove of De La Rosa allowing him to reach and Loadenthal to score. It was ruled an RBI single giving the B-Mets a 1-0 lead.

Edgar Alfonzo followed Ramirez on the hill and kept Trenton (32-30) in check with three scoreless innings and would eventually be named the winner. It was his longest outing of the year.

The big inning came in the fifth when six runs scored off De La Rosa and reliever Eric Wordekemper. Coronado started the inning with a single before the next two hitters recorded outs. The inning looked lost until Nick Evans doubled off the centerfield wall to score Coronado and hand the B-Mets a 2-0 cushion. De La Rosa proceeded to walk the next two hitters, Josh Thole and Lucas Duda, to load the bases. De La Rosa was shown the gate and Wordekemper came on. Shawn Bowman lined a single off him to right scoring Evans and then Loadenthal tripled to right clearing the bases. The final run in the inning came courtesy of Petersen, who followed Loadenthal with a triple of his own, making the score 7-0.

The lone run for the Thunder came across in the eighth off reliever Stephen Clyne who gave up three straight hits with one out in the frame, culminating with Chris Malec's RBI single to right.

De La Rosa was hung with his fourth loss by giving up five runs in 4.2 innings on five hits with three walks.

The roadtrip for the B-Mets continues Tuesday in Harrisburg after an off-day tomorrow. Binghamton will throw RHP Eric Brown (4-4, 4.94) at the Senators, who have yet to name a starter. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:00 with the radio broadcast beginning at 6:45 with the Horizons Federal Credit Union Pre-Game Show on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
