(Reading, PA) - On Harry Potter Night at FirstEnergy Stadium the Fightins (57-60) used some magic to win their seventh straight game. Deivi Grullon hit a go-ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Fightins a 4-3 lead over the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (55-63), which was closed out by Jeff Singer.

Alexis Rivero did not get any help to start the game as the first batter he faced reached on a fielding error. He came around to score on a triple by Joey Terdoslavich, who scored on a sacrifice fly two batters later. Rivero struck out six over 3.2 innings giving up five hits, four walks and two runs (both unearned).

The Fightins faced another Mets top prospect in Justin Dunn. Dunn lasted 6.2 striking out 8 giving up 2 runs. They scored in the bottom of the fifth inning when Drew Stankiewicz roped a double to left field, which scored Austin Listi. They tied it up when yesterday's hero Cornelius Randolph singled in Stankiewicz.

After surrendering the go ahead run the in the top of the eighth inning, Josh Tols (1-1) earned his first Double A win.
