MANCHESTER, NH - Raul Reyes drove in four runs and Darin Gorski fired seven gutsy innings to lead the Binghamton Mets past the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in a 6-2 win Wednesday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. Reyes highlighted Binghamton's 11-hit attack with a two-run homer and Gorski allowed just one earned run to collect his team-leading eighth win.

Reyes got the B-Mets on the board in the fourth against starter Deck McGuire. With a runner aboard, Reyes blasted the first pitch he saw off the batter's eye in center field to give Binghamton a two-run edge. The B-Mets added two runs in the inning on three more hits, capped by an RBI double by Juan Lagares.

The Fisher Cats took advantage of an error to scratch out their first run in the fourth. With a man on first, Wilfredo Tovar bobbled a possible double play ball, allowing all runners to reach safely. Following a walk to load the bases, Brian Van Kirk got the Fisher Cats on the board with a sac fly. Gorski limited the damage by inducing Sean Ochinko to bounce into a fielder's choice to end the inning.

The B-Mets had a quick response for the Fisher Cats in the fifth, plating two runs off reliever Matt Daly. With runners at second and third, Reyes delivered again, driving in a pair with a single to right field. Both of Reyes' run-scoring hits came with two outs.

Given a five-run lead, Gorski held off a strong attack by the Fisher Cats in the sixth. New Hampshire loaded the bases with one out on two singles and a walk. Gorski fought back and got Ochinko to roll into a double play, abruptly ending the Fisher Cats finally threat.

Gorski allowed his only earned run in the seventh. With two outs, Ryan Schimpf launched a solo homer over the right field fence to cut Binghamton's lead to four. Gorski ended his night by getting Jake Marisnick to ground out to end the inning. The southpaw allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits over seven innings, his second-longest appearance as a B-Met.

After the B-Mets failed to add to their lead against three relievers over the final four innings, Brad Holt and Drew Carpenter took the contest to the finish line for Binghamton, combining for two scoreless innings.

Gorski (8-6) threw more than six innings for the first time since his longest outing, an eight-inning effort against the Altoona Curve on June 16. McGuire (5-14) extended his league lead in losses, suffering his fourth against the B-Mets.

The B-Mets (60-63) look for their fourth-straight rubber match win Thursday night at 7:05 PM. RHP Greg Peavey takes the mound for Binghamton against RHP Fernando Hernandez. The Horizons Federal Credit Union pre-game show begins at 6:50 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
