Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


RICHMOND, Va. - The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (39-19) fell to the Richmond Flying Squirrels, 5-2, on Wednesday night at The Diamond. The series is tied 1-1.

Second baseman Jett Williams (2-for-3, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R, BB) crushed two home runs to center field, which accounted for both of Binghamton's runs. It marked the first multi-home run game of Williams' professional career. Williams, the Mets' No. 1 prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 48 overall prospect, has now hit six home runs and is hitting .288 with an .894 OPS through 51 games this season.

Williams hit a solo home run to leadoff the fourth inning against right-hander Manuel Mercedes (3-6), which put Binghamton up 1-0.

Richmond (18-41) tied the game against left-hander Zach Thornton (3-1) in the fourth inning on catcher Adrián Sugastey's solo home run.

Williams hit another go-ahead solo home run to center field with two outs in the sixth inning and put Binghamton up 2-1.

Richmond put up four runs in the bottom of the sixth and grabbed a 5-2 lead. Right-hander Dougals Orellana came in out of the bullpen for Binghamton and inherited two of Thornton's runners with one out. Orellana gave up a go-ahead two-run single to third baseman Sabin Ceballos, which put Richmond up 3-2. Later in the frame, center fielder Turner Hill scored on a wild pitch and Ceballos scored on a passed ball, which made it 5-2.

Right-hander Braxton Roxby recorded his second save of the season for Richmond.

The Rumble Ponies continue this six-game series against the Flying Squirrels (Double-A, San Francisco Giants) on Thursday at The Diamond. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on WNBF News Radio 1290 & 92.1 FM.
