LAST GAME: Binghamton’s slide continued Saturday night with
a 6-2 loss to Trenton, upping their season-long losing streak to
five games. Brad Holt started for the B-Mets and fared well
until the fifth inning when the game was decided. The Thunder
reached with their first four hitters, forcing Holt’s exit. Then
with Josh Stinson on in relief with the bases loaded, Trenton
pushed across all three men with an Austin Romine two-run
double and a Brandon Laird sac fly, making the lead 6-1. The
B-Mets scored the game’s first run and the last run. The first
came on back-to-back doubles from Reese Havens and Nick
Evans in the third inning off starter D.J. Mitchell. The second
came courtesy of a Cory Arbiso bases-loaded walk in the sixth
issue to Jonathan Malo. Havens ripped three hits, including a
double, and scored a run in his Double-A debut. Holt was
charged with the loss after allowing six earned runs in fourplus
innings. Mitchell notched the win with 5.1 innings of tworun
work on six hits.
