In stark contrast to Friday night, when Eric Niesen held the Aeros to one hit, B-Mets pitchers allowed 19 hits leading to a 13-3 loss at the hands of Akron at Canal Park Saturday night. Starter Dylan Owen was roughed for 10 of the 19 hits and allowed seven runs over four innings to draw the loss, his 10th.
The Aeros got to Owen in the second inning after the right-hander had struck out the side in the first inning. Matt McBride doubled to left with one out and then with two away Jerad Head followed suit with a double of his own to plate McBride. Then, Carlos Rivero plated Head with a single to left-center, pitting the Aeros a 2-0 lead.
Binghamton (50-81) responded with a run in the next half inning. Emmanuel Garcia started the third with a four-pitch walk issued by starter Eric Berger. Josh Thole singled to center with one out moving Garcia up to third. Ike Davis grounded into a fielder’s choice to second that scored Garcia to cut the lead in half at 2-1.
After Akron (81-52) returned the favor with a run in the last of the third, the B-Mets came back to tie in the fourth. Shawn Bowman got the ball rolling with a double off the fence in right-center. Caleb Stewart followed with a single to move Bowman to third. The next hitter, D.J. Wabick, lined a single off the back of Berger, which scored Bowman from third and moved Stewart to third. Jose Coronado plated the tying run with a sac fly to center, making it 3-3.
However, that was as close as Binghamton would get. The Aeros scored 10 unanswered the rest of the way to make a winner out of Berger, who tossed 5.2 innings of three-run ball for his second AA win.
Both Thole and Ruben Tejada enjoyed two-hit days and combined to account for half of the B-Mets four hits.
Head led the way for Akron with a 3-4 night including two doubles and four RBIs. McBride and Rivero also output three hits each to lead the charge.
The two teams return to the diamond tomorrow for an afternoon tilt with the series tied at a game apiece. The B-Mets will call upon RHP Eric Brown (5-14, 6.38) Akron will counter with LHP Bobby Livingston (2-4, 5.55). The first pitch is scheduled for 1:35 and the radio broadcast on Newsradio 1290 WNBF begins at 1:20 with the Horizons Federal Credit Union Pre-Game Show.
