B-Mets Game Notes

LAST GAME:

In their first doubleheader of the season, the BMets
swept two games from the Trenton Thunder, winning 2-1
and 4-3. Game 1 featured RHP Ryan Coultas who threw 5.1
innings giving up one run on four hits to pick up his third win
of the season. Coultas walked a season-high four men, including
the first two he faced to lead to a run in the first inning.
The B-Mets plated two in the fourth inning a D.J. Wabick sacrifice
fly to center and a Jose Coronado RBI single to give Binghamton
a 2-1 lead. Julio De La Cruz closed things out, throwing
the final 1.2 innings for his third save. In Game 2, Tobi
Stoner gave the B-Mets 5.1 innings allowed three runs, two
earned and left on the hook, down 3-1. However, Binghamton
plated single runs in three straight innings, winning in extra innings
4-3 on a Lucas Duda RBI single. Michael Dunn tried
to close things out for Trenton leading 3-2 going into the seventh,
but walked Carl Loadenthal with the bases loaded to
bring the B-Mets back even in the game. Stephen Clyne threw
the final 2.2 innings to pick up his first AA win.

STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP:

RHP Dylan Owen will make
his team-leading eighth start of the year tonight against Connecticut.
Last time out, Owen suffered his shortest outing to
the season going 2.2 innings giving up 7 runs on 8 hits, but
did not take the loss as the B-Mets rallied for three runs in the
ninth inning to beat Trenton 8-7 May 14. Owen is 0-3 with a
6.82 ERA in 33 innings. He has walked 21 men this season,
tied for the most in the Eastern League. He was the Mets’
20th-round selection out of Francis Marion University (SC) in
2007.

RHP Daryl Maday will make his eighth start of year for Connecticut
tonight against the B-Mets. He went a season-best
6.1 innings in his last start at New Britain, going 6.1 innings
giving up two runs on seven hits. For the year, he is 2-1 with a
2.29 ERA in 35.1 innings. Saw time at three different levels
last season with the Giants. He opened the season with Augusta
(Low-A) going 9-4 with a 1.55 ERA in 104.2 innings. He
then made four appearances with both Connecticut and San
Jose to finish out the season. He was the Giants 30th-round
pick in the 2006 draft out of Arkansas and underwent Tommy
John surgery on his right elbow after the draft.

THEY CALL IT A WALK-OFF:

Through 31 games entering the
four-game series with Trenton last weekend, the B-Mets had
yet to win in the their final at-bat as the home team, but
Thursday’s 8-7 win and Sunday’s 4-3 win over the Thunder
provided that excitement for the hometown faithful. Thursday,
Binghamton rallied from a 7-5 deficit to win in the ninth on an
error committed Trenton second baseman Justin Snyder. Josh
Petersen tied the score in the ninth with a two-run homer.
