The knuckleballer gave up one run over six innings on June 17 in Binghamton’s 4-3 extra-inning loss at Dunkin Donuts Park. At the plate, Jannis finished 1-for-1 with a sacrifice bunt. 

TEBOW’S BLAST: Tim Tebow’s fifth home run of the season was sent over the left field wall on the first pitch of the third inning. It was his first longball since May 13 against Erie and all five have been hit at NYSEG Stadium.

THREE-WAY TIE: Binghamton, Hartford, and Reading are locked a the top of the Eastern League with 70 home runs this season. The Fightin Phils recent string of longballs has pushed them to a six-game winning streak, three games behind Binghamton and Hartford.

STOLEN BASES: The Yard Goats notched three stolen bases on Friday and lead the league with 96 thieves this season. Binghamton, meanwhile, is last in the league with just 21 stolen bases.

DÉJÀ VU PT. 2: For the second straight night, the pitching matchup features a pair of hurlers who met just six days prior. When RHP Mickey Jannis squared off against LHP Jack Wynkoop on June 17 in Hartford, neither Jannis nor Wynkoop earned a decision in the Yard Goats 4-3 extra-inning win. Both starters went six innings, allowed eight hits, and coughed up two runs.

FEED THE FANS: Binghamton’s last win at NYSEG Stadium came as part of a doubleheader sweep on June 3 against New Hampshire. Since then, the Rumble Ponies have posted an 0-4 mark at home and 4-8 on the road. Binghamton has just seven wins in June, fewest in the league.
