Richmond Flying Squirrels News Release


RICHMOND, Va. - The Richmond Flying Squirrels scored four runs in the sixth to pull ahead of the Binghamton Rumble Ponies in a 5-2 win on Wednesday night at The Diamond.

The Flying Squirrels (18-41) held the Northeast Division-leading Rumble Ponies (39-19) to four hits in the win.

Down, 2-1, in the bottom of the sixth, Sabin Ceballos flared a two-out, two-run single into left to give the Flying Squirrels a 3-2 lead. Richmond continued the two-out rally with runs scoring on a wild pitch and a passed ball to push the lead to 5-2.

Nick Sinacola took over in the seventh and allowed two hits and a walk before stranding the bases loaded. He left the game with one out and two on in the eighth before Braxton Roxby (Save, 2) recorded the final two outs of the frame to maintain the three-run lead.

Roxby sat down Binghamton in order in the ninth to end the game. Dating back to April 29, he has thrown 11 consecutive appearances without allowing an earned run, spanning 15 innings.

Richmond starter Manuel Mercedes (Win, 3-6) retired the first nine batters he faced in order before a solo homer by Jett Williams to lead off the top of the fourth inning, giving the Rumble Ponies a 1-0 lead.

In the bottom of the fourth, Adrian Sugastey belted a solo homer to tie the score, 1-1, against Binghamton starter Zach Thronton (Loss, 3-1). Sugastey has two homers and seven RBIs in his last three games dating back to Sunday.
