Binghamton, NY- Adam Loewen went 3-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, and Jonathan Diaz drove in two runs in the ninth inning with a single, but the Fisher Cats fell 5-3 in Binghamton on Sunday afternoon. Entering the top of the ninth down 5-1, David Cooper doubled, Shawn Bowman walked and Loewen singled off reliever Josh Stinson. Diaz then smacked a single to left field off reliever Jose De La Torre to make it 5-3. But De La Torre came back to earn the save getting Brian Jeroloman and Darin Mastroianni to ground out.

Binghamton (18-12) put together three hits after two were out to take the lead in the bottom of the second inning. Carlos Guzman singled and scored on a double by Jonathan Malo (2-for-3, 2 RBI).
