BINGHAMTON MAKES IT BACK TO BACK WINS: Despite falling behind, 4-0, the Rumble Ponies stormed back for a 10-7 win Saturday afternoon at Hadlock Field. Binghamton scored all 10 runs from the fourth inning through the sixth, while Nabil Crismatt earned his team-leading fourth win of the season.

BINGHAMTON STARTER: RHP Marcos Molina makes his seventh start of the season and fifth with Binghamton. The 23-year-old is still in search of his first win, having lost back-to-back Eastern League starts. After 4.1 innings on April 8 at Harford, Molina was yanked in what would be a 9-7 Binghamton loss.

BACK IN THE NY GROOVE: Binghamton has put together back-to-back wins for the first time since April 28 and 29 when the Rumble Ponies completed a three game sweep at Erie.

STRAY DOGS: Rumble Ponies pitching helped strand 15 Sea Dogs on base in Saturday's win. That's the most left on base by Binghamton pitching since July 12, 2013 when they stranded 16 against the Sea Dogs.

MORE RUNS, MORE FUN: Binghamton hit double digits in the run column for the third time this season on Saturday. The Ponies scored 13 runs in a win at Erie on April 27, before plating 10 runs in a victory against New Hampshire on May 3. Binghamton is 8-1 when scoring at least 6 runs.

BIG MAC: Jeff McNeil picked up one hit in three at-bats on Saturday, stretching his hitting streak to a season-best 11 games. After a three-hit night in Akron on April 30, McNeil has garnered one hit in each of the last ten games. He's matched Peter Alonso's 11-game hitting streak as the longest of any Rumble Pony this season.

LATE-GAME LOCKDOWN: The Rumble Ponies remain a perfect 13-0 this season when leading after seven innings. Tyler Bashlor ranks third in the Eastern League with five saves, while Eric Hanhold has four.

HOME SWEET HOME: After concluding the weeklong road trip, Binghamton comes back to NYSEG Stadium for a brief three-game set against the SeaWolves. Binghamton then hits the road again for five games in four days against New Hampshire.

DOG-FRIENDLY MOLINA: In 2017, RHP Marcos Molina made consecutive starts against the Sea Dogs, tossing seven strong frames in both starts. He won one and lost one, giving up just three earned runs across 14.0 innings.

UP NEXT: The Rumble Ponies begin a three-game series against the SeaWolves on Monday evening. Binghamton sends RHP Mickey Jannis to the mound against Erie RHP Kyle Funkhouser. First pitch at NYSEG Stadium is scheduled for 6:35 PM.
