The SeaWolves failed to make it two consecutive wins as they dropped the opener of a four-game series to the Binghamton Mets, 3-1, on Thursday night at NYSEG Stadium.

The B-Mets struck first against Erie starter Brayan Villarreal in the bottom of the fourth inning. Sean Ratliff led off with a double and was singled home by Josh Satin for a 1-0 Mets advantage.

The SeaWolves tied the game in the top of the sixth against Binghamton starter Josh Stinson. Cesar Nicolas doubled off the wall in left with one out and moved to third on a single by Rawley Bishop. On a pickoff attempt at first, Stinson threw the ball away, allowing Nicolas to score making it a 1-1 game.

Binghamton regained the lead in the bottom of the seventh. Satin led off with a double to straight away center. Marshall Hubbard followed with a double off of reliever Josh Rainwater, scoring Satin for a 2-1 lead. Hubbard would score on a two-out triple by Brahiam Maldonado for a 3-1 Mets advantage.

Erie would get no closer as relievers Eric Niesen and John Lujan held the 'Wolves scoreless over the final two innings of the game.

Villarreal (0-1) was the tough luck loser in his Double-A debut. The righty allowed two runs on four hits with three walks and five strikeouts in six innings of work.
