LAST GAME: Binghamton handily swept a doubleheader away


from New Britian last night behind two sparkling pitching


performances from Mark Cohoon and Jenrry Mejia. The BMets


won Game 1 8-1 thanks to a complete-game effort from


Cohoon and a 13-hit rampage. Cohoon hurled seven innings


and allowed a run on five hits, while striking out eight for his


third straight win. Zach Lutz and Josh Satin each ripped three


hits and Sean Ratliff supplied the power with a three-run blast


in the second inning, which gave Binghamton an 8-0 lead.


Rock Cats starter Chris Province was harassed for eight runs


on 11 hits over 3.1 innings. Mejia bettered Cohoon in the


nightcap with a seven-inning shutout. The 20-year-old phenom


dazzled New Britain, limiting them to three hits and three


walks in facing three over the minimum for his second win.


Ratliff again provided the pop with 2-for-3 showing including a


pair of doubles and two RBI.

 STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Robert Carson takes the


ball for Binghamton in search of the sweep. The southpaw last


started August 20 versus Altoona and allowed four runs on six


hits over six innings, but did not factor in the decision. Carson


is 1-4 with a 7.43 ERA over seven starts (36.1 IP). Eastern


League opponents are hitting .340 off him. The lefty made 17


appearances in the Florida State League and went 7-5 with a


4.17 ERA over 86.1 innings. He made 25 starts for Savannah


(Low-A) in 2009 and tallied an 8-10 mark with a 3.21 ERA


over 131.2 innings. Carson was selected in the 14th round of


the June 2007 draft out of Hattiesburg HS (MS).



RHP Bobby Lanigan will take the hill for the Rock Cats for his


eighth start. He has lost three straight outings, including his


last, August 20 at New Hampshire, when he allowed six runs


on nine hits over 5.1 innings. Lanigan is 2-3 with a 5.50 ERA


over 37.2 innings. He opened the season with Fort Myers


(High-A) and impressed with a 3-1 mark and a 2.15 ERA over


11 appearances (54.1 IP) with just seven walks. Lanigan


spent the bulk of 2009 with Beloit (Low-A) where he went 10-


7 with a 4.52 ERA over 22 starts (123.1 IP) before finishing


the season in Fort Myers. Minnesota drafted him in the third


round of the June 2008 draft out of Adelphi University.
