INNINGS EATER: Logan Taylor tossed four shutout innings in relief on Saturday, the longest outing by a B-Met reliever this season. Taylor equaled his longest outing, as he threw four innings in a spot start at Erie on 4/17.

WILD THING: Mickey Jannis issued a season-high six walks in his last start on Tuesday in Richmond and has totaled 11 walks in his past two starts. His 37 walks lead the staff and are the third most in the Eastern League. Jannis is also tied for fourth in the league with six hit batters.

DAY AND NIGHT: Binghamton has gone only 4-13 in day games as opposed to 24-25 in night games.

IN DRAMATIC FASHION: Miguel Andujar's sacrifice fly in the ninth handed the B-Mets their third walk-off loss of the season and the first since Corey Jones ended the game with a three-run double on 6/2 in Erie.

IT'S DECIDED: Trenton's win on Saturday secured the season series victory for the Thunder for the second consecutive year.
