LAST GAME:
After getting rained out Sunday, the B-Mets took
to the field Monday and played the second longest game of
their season in beating Altoona 10-6 in 10 innings. The contest
took 4 hours and 21 minutes to complete, but it ran Binghamton’s
extra-innings record to 9-2. With the game tied at
five, the B-Mets took a 6-5 lead on an RBI single from Jose
Coronado in the top of the ninth. However, the lead evaporated
in the bottom of the frame when Connor Robertson
loaded the bases with a pair of walks and a single leading to a
Gorkys Hernandez sacrifice fly. In the tenth, Binghamton rallied
in a big way with one out. Josh Thole ripped a one-out
single, his fourth hit of the game, and was followed by an Ike
Davis double to put both me in scoring position. After Jean
Machi intentionally passed Lucas Duda, D.J. Wabick knocked
his second homer of the year, a grand slam, out to right to put
the B-Mets out in front 10-6. Robertson tossed a scoreless
10th to pick up his second win. Wabick was 3-6 with a Binghamton-
high 6 RBIs and Thole went 4-5 with a double, his
second four-hit performance of the season. Starter Dylan
Owen tossed five scoreless innings at the game’s outset.
