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.
