Date: May 30, 2023 by Matt Levine
ALTOONA, Pa. – Junior Santos tossed a career-high eight innings and the bats exploded for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (23-22) on Tuesday night in the series opener against the Altoona Curve, as the Ponies won 10-3 at Peoples Natural Gas Field. The Ponies have won a season-high five-straight games.
Santos
went eight innings and struck out five batters, allowing just two runs without
issuing a walk. The 21-year-old right-hander had gone seven innings four
different times in his career prior to this season, but dominated and set a new
career high in innings pitched on Tuesday.
Binghamton’s
offense exploded, highlighted by Agustin Ruiz’s grand slam and Luke Ritter’s
two homers.
Binghamton
was ahead on Altoona (22-22) 2-1 heading into the fifth, before putting up a
five-spot in the frame. The first six batters in the inning reached base, with
Ruiz ripping a grand slam to right field to extend the Ponies’ lead to 7-1.
With
the Ponies up 7-2 in the seventh inning, Ritter hit his first home run of the
night to give Binghamton a 9-2 lead. Ritter homered again to lead off the ninth
inning to put Binghamton up 10-2.
Quinn Brodey made his Double-A pitching debut for the Ponies in the ninth inning and
struck out two batters, while allowing a solo homer.
The
Rumble Ponies will continue their series with the Curve (Double-A affiliate of
the Pittsburgh Pirates) on Wednesday. First pitch is set for 6:00 PM and
pregame coverage gets underway at 5:45 PM on the WNBF Rumble Ponies Radio
