Binghamton, NY- Luis Hernandez's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the tenth inning brought in Jose Coronado to score the winning run, as Binghamton beat the Thunder 10-9 in extra innings on Saturday night at NYSEG Stadium. With the loss, Trenton falls to 40-26 on the year.
Binghamton rattled RHP Cory Arbiso early in the game, scoring five runs on seven hits, including five doubles, and led 5-0 at the end of three innings.
