The Senators took command in the third inning against Brandon Moore. Josh Johnson drew a one-out walk. A two-out single from Chris Rahl moved him to third and he scored on Tyler Moore’s hot shot through the left side to give Harrisburg a 1-0 lead.
Moore allowed two more in the fourth inning. Tim Pahuta drew a leadoff walk and was joined on base when Devin Ivany singled. Moore came back to get the next two men, but uncorked a wild pitch to score Pahuta and move Ivany to third. Johnson plated the runner from third with a bunt single, which advanced the lead to 3-0.
Harrisburg (60-47) kept its foot on the accelerator in the fifth with two more runs on back-to-back RBI singles from Ivany and Chris McConnell.
Binghamton (43-64) finally broke through against Senators’ starter Shairon Martis in the sixth. Juan Lagares led off with a single to right, Reese Havens moved him to second with a single to center and Brahiam Maldonado plated Lagares with a single to center to get the B-Mets on the board. Allan Dykstra made it four straight hits with a blooper to center, which loaded the bases. Michael Fisher made good on the situation with a sac fly to left, scoring Havens. Martis settled down to strike out Raul Reyes, but Blaquiere got the better of him with a two-run double to left, which cleared the bases and drew Binghamton within a run.
Martis exited after permitting the double in favor of Hassan Pena. The reliever induced a comebacker to the mound from pinch-hitter Eric Campbell, but misfired on his throw to first. Tyler Moore picked the one-hop throw, but his left foot came off the bag allowing Campbell to reach and Blaquiere to score the tying run.
Moore exited to a no-decision courtesy of the five-run sixth. He allowed five runs on nine hits and walked three. Martis also took a no-decision. He fired 5 2/3 innings and allowed five runs on eight hits with eight strikeouts.
The B-Mets struck the game-winning blow in the eighth inning against Pena. Fisher stroked a one-out single to center and was joined on base when Reyes lined a single to left. Once again, Blaquiere struck the decisive blow with a two-run double off the centerfield wall to give Binghamton a 7-5 lead. Pinch-hitter Matt den Dekker extended the lead to three with a single to right off reliever Pat McCoy, which chased Blaquiere home. Pena was charged with the loss.
The Senators managed a pair of runs off Edgar Ramirez in the bottom of the eighth helped by a pair of doubles and a B-Mets error. However, Erik Turgeon retired the side in order in the ninth to preserve the one-run margin and nail down his sixth save.
Lagares went 2-for-5 for Binghamton and has now hit in all seven games he has played in Double-A.
The B-Mets look to take the upper hand in their four-game series with Harrisburg Saturday at 7 PM. LHP Robert Carson (3-8, 4.40) will start opposite RHP Tanner Roark (5-7, 5.58). The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pre-Game Show begins at 6:45 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF
