BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Catcher Kevin Parada crushed a three-run home run in the seventh inning to lead the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (31-23, 66-57) to their season-high sixth-straight win, knocking off the Harrisburg Senators 3-0 on Saturday night at Mirabito Stadium. The Ponies have won each of the first five games in the series.

With the game scoreless in the seventh, Parada hit a line drive three-run homer over the left field wall to put the Ponies up 3-0. It was the first home run of his Double-A career and his 12th overall this season. Hayden Senger led off the frame with a double and Drew Gilbert later worked a two-out four-pitch walk. Parada followed with a long ball on the first pitch of his plate appearance.

Parada had a multi-hit game with a three-run homer in the seventh and a single in the fourth. He also shined defensively, as he threw out Trey Lipscomb trying to steal second base in the second inning.

Right-hander Jordan Geber made the first start of his Double-A career and shined. He threw six scoreless frames with four strikeouts, while allowing three hits and no walks.
