Josh Petersen two-out, bottom-of-the-ninth RBI single tied it, but the Trenton Thunder scored five runs in the top of the 13th for an 8-3 win over the Binghamton Mets at NYSEG Stadium Tuesday. The loss is Binghamton's fifth in their last six games.

The B-Mets (9-10) took a 1-0 lead in the second when Salvador Paniagua reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and scored on Emmanuel Garcia's base hit up the middle. Trenton (11-9) tied the game on Jose Tabata's sacrifice fly in the fourth and took a 2-1 lead on a Colin Curtis RBI single in the fifth.

Binghamton rallied for another run in the fifth when Garcia singled, moved to third on an error and scored on Petersen's base hit to center, tying the score 2-2. However, a Chris Malec RBI fielder's choice in the sixth put the Thunder ahead 3-2.

Trenton reliever Steven Jackson retired the first two hitters in the bottom of the ninth before Paniagua singled to right. Garcia's base hit moved pinch-runner Rafael Arroyo to second before Petersen lined a base hit to left, tying the score 3-3. Jackson was replaced by Eric Wordekemper (1-1), who tossed two scoreless innings.

The score remained tied until the 13th, when Malec singled in a run off Eddie Kunz (1-1). Austin Jackson had a two-run single later in the frame before Matt Carson picked up an RBI single of his own. The final run of the inning scored on an error.
