Jose Coronado evaded the tag of Trenton catcher Jose Gil on a Luis Hernandez sac fly to center, sliding Binghamton by the Thunder 10-9 in 10 innings Saturday night at NYSEG Stadium. The win ran the B-Mets’ winning streak to four games and improved the team’s extra-inning record to 5-0 in 2010. Eric Campbell led the B-Mets 18-hit attack with four hits, including a pair of homers. The third baseman scored three runs and drove in four. Binghamton (34-34) carried a 9-6 lead into the ninth inning, when the Thunder wreaked havoc. Clint Everts came on in the ninth to nail down his third save. However, Justin Christian opened the inning with a double and scored on an RBI single from Austin Krum, cutting the lead to two. Emary Frederick was summoned to put out the fire. Austin Romine, though, greeted him rudely with an RBI double to left, plating Krum to get Trenton within a run. After walking Brandon Laird, Frederick induced a double-play groundball from Daniel Brewer to get within an out of the save. Matt Cusick followed and roped a ball down the line at first. Nick Evans dove to stop it and flipped to Frederick, but the righty could not hold on to the throw, allowing Romine to score the tying run. Duff remained on for the tenth and got the first hitter, Omir Santos, on a flyout to center. However, Josh Satin and Brahiam Malonado strung back-to-back bloop singles together to put runners at the corners. Then, Hernandez stepped to the plate with the infield and outfield drawn in and lifted a shallow fly to center. Coronado went back to tag as the ball was gloved by the rightfielder Daniel Brewer. Breaking for the plate, the throw beat Coronado, but the pinch-runner slipped his left hand past Gil on a head-first slide to tally the winning run.
