The shot was part of a five run fifth inning, in which the B-Mets cut the lead to three. It’s only the second time Binghamton has been swept in a doubleheader this season. Their magic number to clinch a playoff spot remains at nine games.
BINGHAMTON STARTER: RHP Gabriel Ynoa gets the ball for the B-Mets. The 21-year-old is making his eighth start of the season and his third against Erie. Ynoa took the hard luck loss in his last outing. He gave up two runs on four hits in six innings in a 2-1 Binghamton loss to Harrisburg on Friday, August 8.

In two previous outings against the SeaWolves, Ynoa is 1-0 and has surrendered seven runs and eight hits in 11 innings of work.

DUSTED AWAY: Wednesday was just the second time Binghamton had been swept in a doubleheader this season and the first time at NYSEG Stadium. The B-Mets hadn’t lost back-to-back games since July 27-28 and not to the same team since July 21-22. The B-Mets left 22 runners of base during the twin bill and never held a lead. In game two, the B-Mets collected 12 hits and walked seven time.s
STREAK STALLED: Binghamton starters Greg Peavey and Angel Cuan gave up a five and six runs, respectively in each end of the doubleheader on Wednesday. That ends a stretch of eight straight games in which a B-Met starter has allowed two earned runs or less. That includes six games with no earned runs surrendered by a Binghamton starter. The 11 runs allowed were more than the unit has given up in the their last nine appearances combined.
