END OF SEASON

 LAST GAME: The B-Mets snapped a three-game losing skid


with a 3-2 victory last night over Harrisburg at NYSEG Stadium.


Starter Robert Carson left after 3.1 innings after being


hit in the left arm with a Jesus Valdez line drive. Carson allowed


just a run on two hits. Binghamton broke on top in the


first with a two-run triple from Brahiam Maldonado, which


chased home of a pair of walks issued by Senators’ righty


Ryan Peacock. Eric Campell pushed the lead to two in the


fourth with a solo homer to left off Peacock. Harrisburg got as


close as a run courtesy of a Chris Marrero RBI single in the


sixth, but the B-Mets bullpen buckled down to seal the win.


Edgar Ramirez picked up the win with 2.2 innings of one-run


relief. Elvin Ramirez followed with a season-long 2.1 innings


scoreless and Roy Merritt nailed down his ninth save by getting


the final two outs. Josh Johnson led the way for Harrisburg


with a 2-3 showing.



STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Scott Shaw was promoted


from St. Lucie today to start tonight’s contest with the


Senators. He is 4-6 with a 7.97 ERA over 70 innings with the


B-Mets. As a starter, Shaw went 4-5 with an 8.45 ERA in 12


starts (54.1 IP) in his previous stint with Binghamton. He appeared


in seven games while with St. Lucie (High-A) and was 0


-0 with a 5.54 ERA over 13 innings. Shaw led St. Lucie (High-


A) last season in numerous categories, including starts (26),


innings (149.2), wins (8) and strikeouts (118). The righty was


drafted by the Mets in the 13th round of the June 2008 draft


out of the University of Illinois.



RHP Ryan Tatusko is due for his sixth start with Senators. He


hurled seven, shutout innings in his last go-around, August 31


at New Hampshire, but did not factor in the decision. Tatusko


is 2-1 with a 1.82 ERA over 29.2 innings with the Senators. He


began the season in the Texas Rangers organization in Frisco


(AA) where he was 9-2 with a 2.97 ERA over 24 appearances


(13 GS) spanning 100 innings. Washington acquired Tatusko


and Tanner Roark in exchange for Cristian Guzman July 30,


2010. Tatusko was drafted by Texas in the 18th round of the


June 2007 draft out of Indiana State University.


COHOON FINISHES STRONG: B-Mets southpaw Mark Cohoon


started slow with Binghamton, going 1-3 with a 7.24 ERA over


his first seven starts (32.1 IP) after being promoted from Savannah


(Low-A). However, he finished strong with a 4-1 mark


and a 1.63 ERA over his final six starts (38.2 IP).


RAMIREZ REMARKABLE: RHP Edgar Ramirez has saved his


best baseball for last this season. He has not allowed an


earned run over his last four appearances covering 11.1 innings


and has recorded 14 strikeouts during the span.
