LAST GAME RECAP: Despite a complete game by Mickey Jannis, the Rumble Ponies dropped the series opener to the Yard Goats 4-3 at Dunkin Donuts Park on Wednesday. The Ponies took a 3-0 lead into the seventh inning before Hartford received home runs from Scott Burcham and Brandon Bednar.

Kilome threw seven innings of one-run ball against Hartford on July 3 as a member of the Reading Fightin Phils.

COMPLETE EFFORT: Mickey Jannis tossed Binghamton's second complete game of the season and first in a nine-inning game. Nabil Crismatt tossed a seven-inning complete game in game one of a doubleheader on June 3 against New Hampshire. Jannis' 67th Binghamton start is the most is franchise history.

BOTTOM BUST: The six through nine hitters in Binghamton's lineup finished 1-for-14 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the rest of the Binghamton lineup was 8-for-21 - including three multi-hit efforts.

DOOMED AT DUNKIN: The Rumble Ponies have suffered six straight losses at Dunkin Donuts Park. Binghamton's only road win against Harford came back on May 7 in a 2-1 final, their first meeting of the 2018 season.
