Jose Sanchez struck out 11 over seven shutout innings, helping the Binghamton Mets to an 8-2 win over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats at NYSEG Stadium Thursday. Binghamton's won three of four.

The B-Mets (63-57) got on the board in the third. Jonathan Malo reached Brad Mills for a one-out single before the lefthander walked Anderson Machado. Jose Coronado reached on an error, scoring Malo, before Caleb Stewart's fielder's choice brought in Machado for a 2-0 B-Mets lead.

Binghamton broke the game open with a four-run fourth. Josh Petersen hit a leadoff single before Mills (1-1) walked Malo. Two batters later, Coronado reached on an error as Petersen scored. Mike Carp followed with a three-run homer that put the B-Mets ahead 6-0.

Machado scored again in the sixth, when he drew a leadoff walk, moved to third on Coronado's double and came home on a wild pitch. After Jacob Butler singled in two for New Hampshire in the top of the eighth, Machado led off the bottom of the frame with a longball to left, accounting for the game's final run.

Sanchez (11-6) scattered four hits and three walks in the victory. Friday, the Binghamton Mets play the second game of a four-game series against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
