 LAST GAME: Thad Weber was dominant in a complete-game


effort, leading Erie over the B-Mets 2-1 Friday night at NYSEG


Stadium. The right-hander limited Binghamton to just a run on


four hits and struck out four without issuing a walk for his


seventh win of the season. The B-Mets lone run came in the


first inning, courtesy of a Nick Evans solo homer to left, his


17th blast of the season. Mark Cohoon gave his best outing to


date in a Binghamton uniform, but it was not enough. The lefty


allowed two runs over 5.1 innings and was hung with his third


loss. The bullpen was terrific in relief of the starter. Manuel


Alvarez and Eddie Kunz combined to retire the final 11 Sea-


Wolves’ hitters in order. Alvarez worked 1.2 innings with three


strikeouts and Kunz tossed the final two frames with two


punchouts. Chris White was the offensive standout for Erie


with a 2-4 showing, including his first homer of the seeason.



STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Chris Schwinden will


make his 11th start for Binghamton tonight. He gave up five


runs on six hits over five innings in his last start, a loss, July


19 at Bowie. Schwinden has been harassed for 13 runs in his


last three starts (14.2 IP/7.98 ERA). With the B-Mets, he is 4-


6 with a 5.37 ERA over 60.1 innings. He was named a 2010


Florida State League Mid-Season All-Star after his promotion


to Double-A. Schwinden opened the year with St. Lucie (High-


A) and went 3-0 with a 1.83 ERA over 34.1 innings. He spent


most of 2009 with Savannah (Low-A) where he was 9-6 with a


3.28 ERA over 115.1 innings. Schwinden was the Mets’ 22nd


round selection in the June 2008 draft out of Fresno Pacific


University.



LHP Duane Below is due to make his 20th turn in the Erie


rotation tonight. He has lost back-to-back starts, with his last


loss occurring July 19 versus Reading. Below allowed three


runs on nine hits over five innings. He is 3-9 with a 4.57 ERA


over 80.2 innings. Below made eight combined starts between


Lakeland (High-A) and Erie last season with a 2-4 mark


and a 2.70 ERA (40 IP) before landing on the disabled list for


the remainder of the season with a left elbow sprain. Detroit


drafted the lefty in the 19th round of the June 2006 draft out


of Lake Michigan College.
