PORTLAND, ME - The Binghamton Mets and Portland Sea Dogs played two innings before rain suspended play on Monday night at Hadlock Field. The teams will resume play on Tuesday night at 5:00 PM with the game tied at two. The teams will follow the completion of the resumed game with a seven-inning contest.

In a rematch of the 2014 Eastern Division Championship Series, the Sea Dogs cracked the scoreboard in the bottom of the first. With two outs and two aboard, Seth Lugo's first pitch to David Chester glanced on Xorge Carrillo's glove for a passed ball, allowing Jantzen Witte to scamper home.

Binghamton returned serve and grabbed the lead against Luis Diaz in the second. Following a pair of walks, Eudy Pina yanked a two-out double down the third base line, plating Gavin Cecchini and Gilbert Gomez to give the B-Mets a 2-1 advantage.

As the rain picked up in the bottom of the second inning, the Sea Dogs cashed in on a Cecchini throwing error at short. Tim Roberson reached second when the shortstop's throw sailed high and came home when Kevin Heller zipped a game-tying double down the third-base line.

Before Mike Miller could bat, the tarp was placed on the field. After waiting for an hour and four minutes the game was suspended.

The B-Mets (9-8) send RHP Matt Koch to the mound in the resumption. The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pregame Show can be heard starting at 4:45 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF and the Binghamton Mets channel on TuneIn.

POSTGAME NOTES: It was Binghamton's first suspended game since May 27, 2014
