About Binghamton

Wednesday's victory gives the B-Mets two straight series wins at home, the first time they've accomplished that feat this season...today, the B-Mets have a chance to sweep a series from Trenton for the first time since 5/27-31, 2005...the B-Mets have taken four in a row from Trenton, batting .348 (46 for 132) and posting a 1.08 ERA (4 ER, 33 1/3 IP) during the streak. Trenton had previously taken 22 of 32 from the B-Mets...Brett Harper's six RBI Tuesday vs. TRE are the most by a B-Met since Mike Jacobs drove in six 6/2/2005 vs. AKR. Tuesday, Harper also became the 12th B-Met to hit 20 homers in a season and the first since Jacobs, who hit 25 homers in 2005.

About Trenton

This 'N That

Wednesday, the B-Mets picked up their fourth shutout win of the season. Their previous three shutouts were decided by 1-0 scores (7/20 vs. POR/2, 7/14 @ CON, 5/5 vs. POR). The B-Mets also won three 1-0 games in 2001 and 2003 and they had four 1-0 victories in 2000...Monday, Brett Harper was named the EL Player Of The Week for the week that ended Sunday. Caleb Stewart (5/20) is the only other B-Met to be named EL Player Of The Week this season...Binghamton's had nine games postponed, all in April, and they still need to make up three games as part of doubleheaders. All three of those doubleheaders will be played at NYSEG Stadium...Binghamton's postponed series vs. NB 4/16-18 is only the second series postponed in NYSEG/Municipal Stadium history and the sixth postponed series in team history (also 4/5-7/2007 @ AKR, 5/23-26/2006 @ POR, 4/7-9/2003 @ New Haven, 4/6-8/2001 @ POR and 4/21-23/2000 vs. POR). 2007 is also the first season in club history in which more than one series has been postponed.
