Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


Mike Carp had a hand in all four of the Binghamton Mets' runs in their 4-3 win over the New Britain Rock Cats at New Britain Stadium Friday. Binghamton has won three in a row.

New Britain (44-67) took a 1-0 lead in the second, thanks to Brock Peterson's homer off Bobby Parnell. However, Binghamton (60-54) responded in the third. Jose Coronado singled and Jonathan Malo walked against Kyle Aselton, setting the table for Carp, who tripled to center, scoring both. Carp then came in on a throwing error for a 3-1 B-Mets lead.

Binghamton got to Aselton (4-5) again in the fifth. Coronado led off with a double and was bunted to second by Malo before Carp's sacrifice fly brought him in.

Erik Lis homered and Drew Butera drove in a run with a groundout for New Britain in the bottom of the fifth.

Parnell (10-6) departed after six innings. Joe Hietpas, Edgar Alfonzo and Eddie Kunz combined on three innings of two-hit relief. Kunz got the final four outs for his 27th save in 30 chances.

Saturday, the Binghamton Mets play the second game of a three-game series against the New Britain Rock Cats. Jose Sanchez (10-5, 4.13) will start for Binghamton against Jay Rainville (7-8, 6.50) of New Britain. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at New Britain Stadium with the radio broadcast beginning at 6:50 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.

Notes: Binghamton has won three straight for the first time since 6/12-14...since blowing the save 6/18 vs. ERI, Kunz hasn't allowed a run in 16 consecutive outings (17 IP), converting all 11 of his save chances...Kunz is one save away from tying the B-Mets' single-season record (Jerrod Riggan, 28 - 2000)...Binghamton has won nine of their last 10 against New Britain.
