Mets Swept by Hot Baysox

July 29, 2007 - Eastern League (EL1) - Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


The Binghamton Mets went ahead early, but a three-run eighth led to a 5-2 win for the Bowie Baysox at NYSEG Stadium Sunday. Bowie, which swept the four-game series, has won nine in a row.

Binghamton (45-61) got to Baysox starter Radhames Liz in the first two innings. Miguel Negron began the first by working out a walk before moving to third on Wilson Batista's single and scoring on Vince Harrison's sacrifice fly. Drew Butera led off the second by reaching on a two-base error. He would score on a J.E. Cruz RBI single that put the B-Mets ahead 2-0. However, the B-Mets would pick up just one more hit on the afternoon.

Bowie (56-52) didn't get to B-Mets starter Kevin Mulvey until the fifth, when Bryan Bass hit a sacrifice fly that brought in Jeff Fiorentino. Luis Jimenez picked up a sacrifice fly of his own in the sixth to score Matt Cepicky, who tripled. Mulvey departed after six innings, striking out five.

B-Mets reliever Marcelo Perez (1-5) began the eighth by allowing back-to-back singles to Ruddy Yan and Oscar Salazar before being pulled. Raul Valdes gave up a go-ahead RBI double to Jimenez before Fiorentino scored another with a sacrifice fly. Eli Whiteside finished the scoring with an RBI single off Brandon Nall.

Rommie Lewis (4-4) tossed a scoreless inning for the win. Bob McCrory worked around a walk in the ninth to earn his seventh save in nine chances.

After an off-day Monday, the Binghamton Mets continue their homestand Tuesday with the opener of a three-game series against the Trenton Thunder. Marcos Carvajal (5-7, 4.09) will start for the B-Mets against Alan Horne (9-3, 2.36) of Trenton. Game time is 7:05 from NYSEG Stadium with the radio broadcast starting at 6:50 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
