ERIE, PA - The Binghamton Mets matched a season-high with twelve runs and racked up twelve hits, including six for extra-bases, in a 12-2 rout of the Erie SeaWolves at Jerry Uht Park Friday night. The series-opening victory extended the B-Mets winning streak to three games, one shy of their season-high.

Wilmer Flores doubled, scored two runs and drove in two in a three-hit game. Jefry Marte matched a B-Met season-high with three runs scored, while Eric Campbell kept up his hot streak, driving in three runs.

Binghamton held the lead from wire-to-wire, jumping on starting pitcher Kelvin De La Cruz for two runs in the first. After a pair of walks and fielder's choice, Eric Campbell supplied a sac fly and Wilmer Flores doubled in a run.

The B-Mets added to their lead with four more runs against De La Cruz in the third. Jefry Marte started by blasting a solo home run to left, his sixth round-tripper of the season. Following a walk and single, Wilfredo Tovar drove in two with a triple to left center, his first hit as a B-Met. Juan Centeno capped the rally with an RBI single to center.

The early scores made life comfortable for starter Darin Gorsi. The lefty survived two bumpy innings before settling in. He allowed three hits and walked one in the first two innings, but navigated through unharmed. The Pennsylvania native cruised through his final four innings, facing just two over the minimum. No runner reached second against him after the second.

Binghamton blew the game open in the sixth against reliever David Kopp. Campbell drove in two with the bases loaded by zipping a double to right center. Flores brought in another run by sending the next pitch into right for a single. Dustin Martin capped the three-pitch barrage by doubling in a run on the first pitch he saw. Centeno kicked the lead to twelve with an RBI single to left.

Gorski (5-4) exited after six shutout innings. He allowed five hits and struck out four in his third win in June. Jeff Stevens made his B-Mets debut with a scoreless seventh, but ran into trouble in the eighth. The righty allowed three hits and walked in a run with the bases loaded.

Edgar Ramirez entered and retired Bryan Pounds to end the inning. He returned for the ninth and gave up one run on three hits before inducing Rawley Bishop to fly out to center to end the game.

De La Cruz (4-7) allowed six runs on six hits over four innings in the losing effort. Kopp was tagged for six runs while recording just five outs. Jared Gayhart provided the lone bright spot on the pitching side for Erie, retiring all ten B-Mets he faced.

The B-Mets (34-37) continue their final series at Jerry Uht Park this season with a 7:05 PM game Saturday night. RHP Greg Peavey gets the nod for Binghamton against RHP Patrick Cooper. The Horizons Federal Credit Union pre-game show begins at 6:50 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
