BINGHAMTON, NY - The SeaWolves scored six unanswered runs, including three in the ninth inning, en route to a 12-9 victory against the Rumble Ponies. The Erie offense battered and bruised the Binghamton bullpen, collecting seven of their 12 runs against Rumble Ponies relievers

Headed to the ninth inning in a 9-9 tie, the SeaWolves took advantage of the Rumble Ponies fourth pitcher of the night, Joe Zanghi. Jake Rogers leadoff double kickstarted the rally, before the SeaWolves plated runs via a Cam Gibson sacrifice fly, Danny Woodrow RBI double, and Sergio Alcantara run-scoring single.
