Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


TRENTON, NJ - The Trenton Thunder beat the Binghamton Mets, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon at ARM & HAMMER Park to complete a three-game series sweep. The B-Mets were held to five singles and suffered their sixth loss in seven games. Binghamton finished a 1-5 road trip by slipping back to 11 games below .500, matching a season-low.

Binghamton's lone offensive highlight came early. With runners at the corners in the second, LJ Mazzilli hit a slow roller to third. Cito Culver barehanded the bouncer and skipped a throw past Dante Bichette at first, allowing Matt Oberste to come home.

Trenton starter Ronal Herrera shook off the misplay and cruised through the seventh inning. The righty put down 15 of the final 16 batters he faced, including the last 10 in a row.

Mark Payton led the offense for the Thunder. He tripled and scored to tie the game in the second and drove in the go-ahead run by threading a double down the left-field line in the sixth. Dante Bichette Jr. capped Trenton's offense with a RBI single off Tim Peterson later in the sixth.

The B-Mets put two aboard in the ninth, but Jonathan Holder coaxed a groundout from Oberste to end the game and secure his fifth save.

B-Mets starter Mickey Jannis (1-7) allowed three runs on eight hits over 5-1/3 innings in his 12th straight winless start.
