NEW BRITAIN, CT - Liam Hendriks continued to impress with another strong outing and Deibsinson Romero crushed a three-run homer to lead the Rock Cats to a 7-3 victory over Binghamton in a rain-shortened game on Tuesday night.

Binghamton's Joshua Satin crushed a three-run homer in the top of the eighth as the Mets finally broke through against Hendriks. Michael Tarsi entered the game with no outs in relief of Hendriks, but the inning was halted due to heavy rain.

Hendriks (4-2) struck out nine and scattered eight hits, with the home run allowed one of the few mistakes he made through the night.

Moore (3-3) finished with six runs - with only one earned run - on eight hits through 4 1/3 innings.
