Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


Jonathon Niese tossed a complete-game shutout and the Binghamton Mets scored eight two-out runs in the third for an 11-0 win over the Erie SeaWolves in the first game of a doubleheader at Jerry Uht Park Thursday. Erie won the second game 1-0.

In the opener, the B-Mets (55-50) took a 3-0 lead in the second. Lauren Gagnier began the frame by walking Ambiorix Concepcion before Caleb Stewart doubled and Salomon Manriquez singled, the latter scoring Concepcion. Two batters later, Jonathan Malo doubled in Stewart and Manriquez.

After Gagnier (1-2) retired the first two batters in the third, Stewart started Binghamton's rally with a double and scored on Manriquez's base hit. Emmanuel Garcia doubled before he and Manriquez came in on Malo's two-run single. Fernando Martinez reached on a infield hit and Jose Coronado walked, loading the bases for Daniel Murphy, whose single to right brought in Malo and Martinez. Mike Carp capped off the inning's scoring with a three-run homer to right. All told, nine consecutive B-Mets reached with two outs.

That was more than enough run support for Niese (6-7). The southpaw limited Erie (44-62) to six hits and a walk, striking out eight.

In the second contest, B-Mets righthander Eric Brown didn't allow a hit until the sixth and faced the minimum through the first six frames. However, he was matched by Erie's Danny Christensen and his 6 1/3 scoreless innings. SeaWolves reliever Casey Fien (2-3) got the final two outs in the seventh.

Brown (5-7) departed after allowing back-to-back, one-out singles to Casper Wells and Deik Scram. Tim Lavigne then walked Ryan Roberson, loading the bases for Jeff Frazier, who walked on four pitches, forcing in Wells with the winning run.

Friday, the B-Mets continue their eight-game road trip with the first of three against the Akron Aeros. Michael Antonini will make his Double-A debut in the start for Binghamton against fellow lefty Scott Lewis (4-2, 3.45) of Akron. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Canal Park with the radio broadcast beginning at 6:50 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
