Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release


Wilson Batista was 3 for 4 with a homer, but the Binghamton Mets still fell to the Portland Sea Dogs 10-2 at Hadlock Field Wednesday. The B-Mets won the first two games of the three-game set.

Portland (65-62) got to B-Mets starter Salvador Aguilar in the first. After walking the first two hitters, Aguilar (7-8) allowed an RBI single to Bryan Pritz and a Chad Spann sacrifice fly before Jay Johnson's two-run double put the Sea Dogs ahead 4-0.

The B-Mets (55-72) got one of the runs back when Batista led off the fourth by homering to right off Michael Bowden. However, that was all Bowden (8-4) would allow over six innings.

Portland put the game away with a five-run sixth, which included five walks - including one to Cory Keylor with the bases loaded - sacrifice flies by Pritz and Spann and a two-run single by Iggy Suarez, giving Portland a 9-1 lead. Pritz added an RBI double in the seventh.

Binghamton scored the game's final run in the ninth. Brett Harper led off with a single before Jamar Hill reached on an error and Edwards Guzman singled to load the bases. Vince Harrison then hit into a fielder's choice, scoring Harper.
