Ike Davis drove in three of Binghamton’s five runs Sunday afternoon and Eric Brown tossed six, strong innings for the win in the B-Mets 5-3 triumph at Canal Park. Playing in right field for the second straight day, Davis rapped three hits and finished a triple short of the cycle, including his team-leading 12th homer of the season.
Binghamton (51-81) wasted no time getting on the board in the first inning. Jose Coronado doubled into the left-centerfield gap off starter Bobby Livingston with one out in the frame. Davis followed with a two-bagger into the right-field corner, plating Coronado. Then, Livingston hung an 0-2 breaking ball to D.J. Wabick with two outs that was spanked into center scoring Davis to make it 2-0 B-Mets.
Akron (81-53) responded with a run in the bottom of the first on an RBI single from Jerad Head. The Aeros got the inning started with two outs thanks to an error at first committed by Salvador Paniagua, who was starting for just the fifth time at the position.
Paniagua got the run back for Binghamton to start the second inning. He stung a first-pitch fastball from Livingston over the left-center field wall for his second homer of the year.
In the fourth, Davis extended the lead to 4-1 with a two-out solo homer to right off Livingston, who had only given up three homers all year previous to allowing two Sunday.
The Aeros closed to within two on an RBI double from Armando Camacaro in the fourth. However, Davis would extend the lead back to three with a broken-bat single to center with two outs in the eighth off Livingston, scoring Ruben Tejada, who had walked earlier.
Livingston threw a season-best 7.2 innings, but took the loss. The veteran southpaw allowed five runs on nine hits and struck out three.
Brown recorded just his second win as a starter and sixth overall with a quality start of six innings with two unearned runs allowed. He allowed just five hits and walked one.
Jose De La Torre faced some adversity in the ninth due to an error and a walk, but the righty buckled down and retired the side after allowing a run to earn the save. He hurled the final three innings in hitless fashion for his second save in five chances.
The two teams finish up the four-game set tomorrow night. Binghamton will give the ball to LHP Mike Antonini (7-3, 4.84) and Akron will counter with RHP Jeanmar Gomez (10-4, 3.09). The first pitch is slated for 7:05 and the radio broadcast on Newsradio 1290 WNBF begins at 6:50 with the Horizons Federal Credit Union Pre-Game Show.
