Manchester, NH - The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (27-39, 62-68) snapped a three-game skid and beat the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 4-2 on Saturday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

In the eighth, Fermin led off with a single against Joey Pulido. Later in the frame, with two outs Pulido was replaced by LHP Jake Fishman.
