TODAY: The Rumble Ponies are continuing a 3-game series against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats this afternoon. Binghamton lost 10-5 in the opener Friday night as the Fisher Cats scored 8-runs in the first inning. It snapped the Ponies 4-game winning streak.

DEGROM BOBBLEHEAD: The first 1,000 fans in attendance today will receive a Jacob DeGrom Bobblehead.

He is 2-4 this season with a 3.60ERA. In Jacob's last two outings though he has just a 1.29ERA with opponents batting only .146 against him.

WEDNESDAY'S NO-HITTER: Wednesday night, Harol Gonzalez and Ryder Ryan combined to pitch the first Binghamton no-hitter in nearly 13 years (7/23/06). Gonzalez pitched six and two thirds no-hit frames and Ryan shut the door with two and a third perfect innings.

WHAT A WEEK FOR RYDER: The right-hander not-just combined with Harol Gonzalez for a no-hitter on Wednesday, but also turns 24 today. Ryan has allowed only two runs, with a 1.84 ERA in six relief appearances.

MAZEIKA MASHING: Ponies catcher Patrick Mazeika had a single Wednesday to extend his season-long hitting streak to ten games. Mazeika is batting 5th today and playing first base.

ALCANTARA AN RBI MACHINE: Arismendy Alcantara was 3-5 with 2 RBI in Friday night's loss. This comes after Alcantara hit his first home run of the season in Thursday's 5-3 win in 11 innings over the Senators in Harrisburg.
