Tobi Stoner tossed seven shutout innings and the Binghamton Mets rapped out 11 hits en route to a 6-1 win over the Bowie Baysox at Prince George's Stadium Tuesday. Binghamton's won two straight and five of seven.

Binghamton (62-56) didn't trail after the first, when Mike Carp doubled off Zach Clark and Caleb Stewart followed with a two-run homer.

The B-Mets broke the game open against Clark (1-1) in the fifth. Josh Petersen led off with a double and, three batters later, scored on Fernando Martinez's double. Coronado followed with a double of his own to plate Martinez before Stewart's single brought in Coronado for a 5-0 Binghamton lead.

Back-to-back doubles in the sixth by Salomon Manriquez and Anderson Machado, the latter scoring Manriquez, accounted for Binghamton's final run.

Stoner (4-4) had more than enough run support. The righthander allowed three hits and a walk, striking out six. Edgar Alfonzo went the final two innings, allowing a run in the eighth on Jeff Nettles' double-play groundout.

Wednesday, the Binghamton Mets play the final game of a three-game series against the Bowie Baysox. Bobby Parnell (10-6, 4.33) will start for Binghamton against Jason Berken (10-3, 3.52) of Bowie.
