Shawn Bowman smacked his ninth homer of the season, a three-run shot, in the eight to tie the score at seven apiece, but Portland pushed across a run in the ninth to edge by the B-Mets 8-7 Thursday night at NYSEG Stadium. Ruben Tejada was the only Binghamton player with multiple hits, going 2-5 with a double.
The B-Mets entered the eighth in a 7-4 hole but got a rally started with a Tejada single off reliever Chad Rhoades. Jose Coronado replaced Tejada on a fielder’s choice to second. Then, Ike Davis lined a single through the right side of the infield to join Coronado on base. Bowman followed with the big blow on a hanging slider from Rhoades sending the ball onto the railroad tracks over the left field wall to even the score at seven.
Portland (62-67) recovered in the ninth, however, to take the lead. Lars Anderson dropped a double just inside the left field line with one out against reliever Edgar Alfonzo. With a right-handed hitter scheduled next, manager Mako Oliveras went to the bullpen for righty Julio De La Cruz. De La Cruz promptly allowed a double to Luis Exposito, which plated pinch-runner Matt Sheely from second propelling the Sea Dogs over the B-Mets, 8-7.
Binghamton (49-80) got the tying run to third in the ninth against closer Bryce Cox. However, Cox worked around a single and a walk to nail down his 11th save and second of the series.
Jenrry Mejia made the start for the B-Mets and struggled with his command. Mejia allowed four runs on six hits and issued three walks in four innings of work.
Sea Dogs starter Ryne Lawson retired 11 in a row at one point and worked six innings, allowing four runs, two earned, in the no-decision.
