Conn. 10, B-Mets 6

Connecticut won, 10-6.

Both Binghamton and Connecticut started off going yard. SP Tobi Stoner gave one up in the first and 3B Shawn Bowman hit his 7th in the second.

Stoner hung in there but gave un three home runs, something I know he absolutely hates doing. Tobi gave up very few homers in his early career, but this happens sometimes at higher levels.

The good news is he hung in there for eight innings.

Then the world fell apart.

RP Roy Merritt gave up six… count them… six unearned runs: MiLB tells the story the best:
