Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release
Altoona Curve righthander Dewon Brazelton fired a complete-game, four-hitter, beating the Binghamton Mets 6-1 at NYSEG Stadium Wednesday. The B-Mets have lost five of their last six.
The B-Mets (51-69) scored their only run in the third. Vince Harrison led off the inning with a grounder that shortstop Javier Guzman threw away for a two-base error. After pitcher Jose Sanchez bunted Harrison to third, Miguel Negron hit a first-pitch single off Brazelton (4-3) that brought in Harrison for a 1-0 Binghamton lead.
Andrew McCutchen hit a game-tying homer off Sanchez in the fifth. The Curve took the lead in the seventh when McCutchen walked, moved to second on Brian Peterson's infield single, to third on Guzman's groundout and scored on Sanchez's wild pitch. Sanchez (3-7) got the loss despite allowing two runs over a season-high-tying seven innings.
Altoona scored three more off Brandon Nall in the eighth, thanks to Brett Roneberg's two-run triple and McCutchen's run-scoring single. Peter Bergeron's two-out RBI single off Marcelo Perez in the ninth capped off the scoring for Altoona (64-56).
Thursday, the Binghamton Mets play the rubber game of their three-game series against the Altoona Curve. Kevin Mulvey (9-10, 3.51) will start for the B-Mets against Luis Muñoz (10-4, 3.77) of Altoona. Game time is 7:05 from NYSEG Stadium with the radio broadcast starting at 6:50 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
Notes: Brazelton's nine-inning complete game was the first at NYSEG Stadium since Binghamton's William Collazo tossed a shutout 6/13/06 vs. NB...Brazelton retired 14 in a row after Negron's RBI single...the B-Mets are hitting .186 over their last six games.
