BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Right fielder Alex Ramírez crushed a walk-off three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (23-16) to a 4-1 series-opening win over the Richmond Flying Squirrels (12-28) on Tuesday at Mirabito Stadium.

With the game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the ninth, second baseman William Lugo led off with a double. Catcher Kevin Parada followed with a single that moved Lugo to third base. Later in the frame, Ramírez roped a walk-off three-run homer to left field and Binghamton won 4-1.

Right-hander Jack Wenninger started for Binghamton and recorded five strikeouts over five innings of work, while allowing two hits and one unearned run. Richmond's lone run scored on an error in the top of the first inning and the Flying Squirrels led until the bottom of the sixth.

Binghamton tied it in the sixth on an RBI single from Lugo with two outs. Third baseman Nick Lorusso hit a single with one out in the frame and then stole second base, which allowed him to score on Lugo's single.
