Marshall Hubbard came off the bench with a pinch-hit, two-run double to push Binghamton over Altoona 9-6 at Blair County Ballpark Wednesday night in 10 innings. The B-Mets ripped a season-high 19 hits, including four hits for Sean Ratliff, and set a new franchise record with nine doubles.
Michael Fisher started the 10th inning rally with a clean single to right off Curve stopper Ramon Aguero. Two batters later, Aguero walked Kirk Nieuwenhuis to put runners at first and second. Hubbard then entered as a pinch-hitter for the pitcher Emary Frederick and smashed a double over the head of rightfielder Brandon Jones, bringing both men home to score. Josh Satin rounded out the game’s scoring with an RBI double to right-center, driving home Hubbard to make the lead three.
Eddie Kunz, the B-Mets 2008 closer, turned back the clock with the save, working a scoreless 10th despite putting two runners on in the frame. Frederick was credited with the win for hurling 1 2/3 innings of one-run relief.
Binghamton (46-40) jumped on Curve starter Rudy Owens in the first. Nieuwenhuis led the game off with a double for the third straight night. Jon Malo advanced him to third with a groundout to second and Nick Evans plated the leadoff man with a clean single to left. Satin followed with a double to put runners at second and third. Ratliff plated Evans with an RBI single and Raul Reyes put the finishing touch on the frame with an RBI single to right, making it 3-0 B-Mets.
