LAST GAME: For the second straight night, the B-Mets turned


an early deficit into a victory, coming from two runs down in


the sixth to beat Akron 5-3 Friday night at Canal Park. Mike


Nickeas provided the go-ahead blow with a two-run homer to


left, which vaulted Binghamton to a 3-2 lead. Nickeas was the


offensive star with three hits in four trips to the plate. Mike


Antonini notched the win despite tying a season-high with


three walks. The southpaw limited the Aeros to two runs on


five hits over 5.1 innings. Alex White was as good, if not better,


than Antonini, tossing six innings. However, his defense


failed him, leading to three unearned runs in the third, resulting


in his fourth loss. Binghamton’s bullpen loomed large,


tossing the final 3.2 innings while allowing one run. Emary


Frederick bailed Eddie Kunz out of a bases-loaded, two-out


situation in the seventh. Derrick Ellison worked a scoreless


eighth after Frederick allowed a leadoff double and Manuel


Alvarez tossed a 1-2-3 ninth for his third save. Brahiam


Maldonado added a homer for the second straight game.


STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Mark Cohoon will make


his Double-A debut tonight after dominating the South Atlantic


League with Savannah (Low-A). He has tossed nine-inning,


complete-game shutouts in his last three starts with the Sand


Gnats. Cohoon racked up a 7-1 mark and a measly 1.30 ERA


over 13 starts (90.1 IP) with Savannah. His ERA paced the


South Atlantic League and his three shutouts are the most in


professional baseball. Cohoon was a New York-Penn League


All-Star last season with Brooklyn (SS-A) thanks to a 9-2 record


and a 2.15 ERA over 92 innings. The Mets drafted him in


the 12th round of the June 2008 draft out of North Central


Texas College.


LHP Scott Barnes gets the call for the Aeros tonight for the


middle game of the series. He walked a season-high five in his


last start June 20 at Portland, but managed to pick up the win


with five innings of one-run work with eight strikeouts. On the


year, the southpaw is 3-6 with a 5.82 ERA over 60.1 innings


with 67 strikeouts. He opened 2009 in the San Francisco


Giants system with San Jose (High-A) before being traded to


Cleveland’s system for first baseman Ryan Garko July 27. The


native of Massachusetts pitched for St. Johns University and


was drafted by the Giants in the eighth round of the 2008


draft.
