Shawn Bowman had a go-ahead RBI single in the fourth, helping the Binghamton Mets to a 6-3 win over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats at MerchantsAuto.com Stadium Wednesday. The victory evens the series at a game apiece.

Binghamton (71-66) took the lead in the first. Jose Coronado and Fernando Martinez began the rally with back-to-back singles off Robert Ray. Mike Carp followed with a base hit to score Coronado for a 1-0 B-Mets advantage. New Hampshire (59-78) tied the score on Erik Kratz's leadoff homer in the third off Mike Antonini.

The top of the fourth began with Ray (7-6) hitting Carp with a pitch. Caleb Stewart and Bowman then singled, the latter scoring Carp, before Ambiorix Concepcion's two-run double brought in Stewart and Bowman. Concepcion scored on an error that allowed Emmanuel Garcia to reach. Garcia would later come in on Fernando Martinez's base hit to right that put the B-Mets ahead 6-1. Antonini (1-2) gave up back-to-back, solo homers to Brian Dopirak and David Smith in the sixth. Eric Brown and Brian Rogers followed the lefthander with three scoreless innings of relief. Rogers got the game's final out for his first save in as many chances.
