Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


Joe Muich had a walk-off, RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, handing the Binghamton Mets a 2-1 loss to the Trenton Thunder at Waterfront Park Friday. The loss is Binghamton's seventh in their last nine games. Trenton (57-36) took a 1-0 lead on Austin Jackson's third-inning RBI single. However, that was all Jose Sanchez would allow over seven strong innings. The righthander scattered six hits and struck out two.

In the top of the seventh, Ambiorix Concepcion started a Binghamton (50-44) rally with a one-out single. Concepcion stole second before Salomon Manriquez was hit by a pitch. After Concepcion stole third and Emmanuel Garcia walked to load the bases, Jonathan Malo reached on an error, scoring Concepcion with the tying run.

Jackson led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk off Eddie Camacho. After Camacho (3-3) picked off Jackson at first, he walked Chris Malec. Camacho struck out James Cooper for the inning's second out before Edwar Gonzalez was walked intentionally. Pinch-hitter Carlos Mendoza drew a free pass as well, ending Camacho's night. On came Tim Lavigne, who worked the count full to Muich. Muich fouled off three consecutive 3-2 pitches before lining a fourth payoff pitch into center for a single, scoring Malec with the winning run.

Trenton reliever Eric Wordekemper (3-2) tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Saturday, the Binghamton Mets play the second game of a four-game series against the Trenton Thunder. Jonathon Niese (5-7, 3.30) starts for Binghamton against fellow lefty Chase Wright (7-2, 3.36) of Trenton. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Waterfront Park with the radio broadcast beginning at 6:50 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
