FIRST TIME EVER? Three Rumble Ponies pitchers combined to strike out four batters in the eighth inning on Wednesday night. According to Baseball Almanac, only once in a Major League game have multiple pitchers whiffed four batters in one inning (Jerry Blevins & Addison Reed, April 17, 2016).

ITS ALL OVER: Binghamton's victory is just their second against Harford this season and first since May 7.

MAS FROM TOMAS: Tomas Nido extended his hitting streak to a season-best 10 games on Wednesday, with a single and home run. Since June 27, Nido sports a league-best .389 batting average, 4 HR & 15 RBI.

MIDDLE MEN: Binghamton's 4-5-6 hitters (Tomas Nido, Kevin Taylor, and, Josh Allen) combined to go 6-for-9 with both RBI's last night. The rest of the team finished 0-for-18 with six strikeouts.

ALLENTOWN: Josh Allen earned the first three-hit game of his affiliated baseball career on Wednesday, finishing 3-for-3 with a double and two singles.

ANTOHER GOOSE EGG: Binghamton's last two wins have been shutouts. Prior to snapping their four-game losing streak last night, the Ponies last win was a 5-0 victory at Altoona on July 27.

WELCOME BACK: Levi Michael returns to the Rumble Ponies after a brief three-game stint with Las Vegas (AAA). Michael went 3-for-9 with a run and a walk with the 51's. He's Binghamton's active leader in average (.308), hits (111), doubles (27), and home runs (10).
