Ike Davis went 2-2 with two walks in his AA debut but Binghamton fell 7-3 to Bowie Tuesday night at NYSEG Stadium for their seventh-straight loss. Five B-Mets batters had two hits in the contest.

Jose Coronado put the B-Mets in front early when he drove in Shawn Bowman with a sacrifice fly off Tim Bascom in the second inning.

Bowie took the lead in the top of the third scoring two runs. Tucker reached on a Jenrry Mejia walk and Robert Valido followed with a single advancing Tucker to third. Eric Crozier then hit a high chopper to the right of Mejia who wheeled and threw the ball past Ike Davis at first base. Tucker scored and Valido came all the way around from first to score as well to make it 2-1.

Binghamton (26-43) immediately responded to retake the lead in the bottom of the third. Emmanuel Garcia and Josh Thole hit back-to-back triples with one out to get things started. Garcia scored on Thole's triple and then Thole scored on a base knock by Davis to give the B-Mets a 3-2 lead.

Bowie (37-32) snatched the lead back in the sixth when Dave Krynzel hit a three-run home run to right field. Costanzo reach first with a single and Miguel Abreu reach on a fielder's choice. Krynzel then homered deep to right off Mejia. Former B-Mets player Ambiorix Concepcion then doubled to deep center and advanced to third on a Mejia wild pitch when Joe Nowicki struck out. Rodriguez then drove in Concepcion with a sacrifice fly to make the score 6-3.

Bowie added an insurance run in the seventh to yield the final of 7-3 when they loaded the bases against reliever Stephen Clyne. The run came across when Clyne struck out Concepcion on a wild pitch allowing Crozier to score.

Mejia went 5.2 innings and dropped to 0-3, giving up six runs, five earned on six hits.

Bascom picked up his second win of the season in his third start, going five innings and giving up three runs on nine hits.

Binghamton will play game two of their three-game tilt with Bowie Wednesday night. The B-Mets have yet to name a starter, but Bowie has and will toss LHP Bobby Livingston (5-2, 3.97 ERA). The first pitch is slated for 7:05 and the radio broadcast on Newsradio 1290 WNBF begins at 6:50 with the Horizons Federal Credit Union Pre-Game Show.
