Tobi Stoner tossed six strong innings and three Binghamton Mets homered in a 12-3 win over the Erie SeaWolves at Jerry Uht Park Monday. The victory is Binghamton's second in their last three games.

The B-Mets (53-48) didn't trail after Mike Carp's two-run homer. The blast, which scored Salomon Manriquez, who'd walked, came off Erie starter Luis Marte.

Binghamton put the game away in the fourth. Manriquez led off with a double before Carp walked. Both advanced on a Marte (0-2) wild pitch before Ambiorix Concepcion's groundout scored Manriquez. Emmanuel Garcia singled in Carp. Two batters later, Fernando Martinez hit the first pitch by reliever Brendan Wise over the leftfield fence, a three-run shot that put Binghamton ahead 7-0.

Erie (42-60) tallied their only run off Stoner (1-4) on Jeff Frazier's sixth-inning sacrifice fly.

Martinez began the Binghamton half of the seventh with a single and, two batters later, scored on Daniel Murphy's two-run blast. Manriquez followed with his second double of the game, later scoring on Concepcion's base hit to left for a 10-1 B-Mets advantage.

Binghamton got three more in the ninth. Carp led off the frame with a double and scored on Stewart's one-out two-bagger. Stewart came in on Jonathan Malo's single.

Erie scored twice off Tim Lavigne in the ninth, as Santo De Leon drove in a run with a fielder's choice before Deik Scram drew a bases-loaded walk.
