The B-Mets also won three 1-0 games in 2001 and 2003 and they had four 1-0 victories in 2000...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.
