Trenton (17-14) blanks Binghamton (16-15) 5-0
I was at tonight’s Binghamton – Trenton game, and I am here to tell you that our B-Mets looked absolutely impotent against the Thunder and pitcher Matt Tracy. The loss broke a second place tie, dropping Binghamton into 3rd place in the Eastern League’s Eastern Division.
Binghamton starter Cory Mazzoni (L, 0-1) just didn’t have it tonight. Although his FB topped out consistently at 95 and 96 MPH, it was flat and hittable. Even his outs were hard hit, several fly balls backing Bingo outfielders to the wall. In 3.0 innings he allowed 5 runs (2 earned) on 7 hits and a walk, with 2 strikeouts.
Shawn Teufel, a sidearming lefty, looked good, especially against left handed batters. He didn’t allow a run in his 3.0 innings, giving up 2 hits and 2 walks, with 3 strikeouts. Adam Kolarek also did not allow a run, giving up but 2 hits in his 2.0 innings, but the damage had already been done by Mazzoni.
Offensively, the Mets were ineffective, getting only 2 hits, one by Darrell Ceciliani and the other by Cesar Puello, while striking out 13 times.

Las Vegas (14-15) @ Sacramento (17-14) suspended (rain).
