On Tuesday evening in Binghamton, the Senators took a pair from the Binghamton Mets, game two with an amazing seventh-inning comeback to move their record to 33-23 on the season. It was the third doubleheader sweep in a row for the Senators. Harrisburg is now 3-2 on their seven-game road trip. With the two losses, Binghamton falls to 18-38 on the season.
The Sens trailed game two 4-0 into the fifth inning when Bill Rhinehart hit a pinch-hit two run home run (11th) to cut the lead in half. Trailing 5-2 into the seventh inning, Devin Ivany and Alex Valdez hit back-to-back doubles putting runners at second and third. Jonathan Tucker and Rhinehart followed with sacrifice flies to make the score 5-4 B-Mets. After a single by Steve Lombardozzi, pinch hitter Derek Norris unloaded on a 3-2 pitch for a pinch-hit home run (9th) giving the Sens a 6-5 lead. Chris Rahl followed with his first home run of the season pushing the Sens lead to 7-5.
