BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (0-1, 45-23) fell to the Portland Sea Dogs, 4-3, in the series opener and first game of the second half at Mirabito Stadium on Tuesday.
Portland (1-0, 35-33) got on the board first with two runs in the second inning against right-hander Jack Wenninger (7-4). Shortstop Marvin Alcantara hit a two-run double with two outs, after an error extended the inning, which made both runs unearned. The Sea Dogs extended their lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning on catcher Ronald Rosario's RBI single.
In the bottom of the fourth, first baseman Ryan Clifford (1-for-4, HR, RBI, R, K) crushed a solo home run to right-center field off left-hander Hayden Mullins (2-2) that cut Binghamton's deficit to 3-1. It marked Clifford's 13th home run, which ranks third in Double-A and second in the Eastern League.
Portland extended the lead to 4-1 in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly from right fielder James Tibbs III.
Binghamton responded with two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to cut its deficit to 4-3. Designated hitter Nick Lorusso (1-for-3, R, 2B, BB) led off the frame with a double and later scored on catcher Kevin Parada's RBI single. On the single, Parada (1-for-3, RBI, R, 2 K) advanced to third on an error and eventually scored on a wild pitch.
Wenninger took the loss, but tossed 5+ innings for the 11th-time in 14 starts this season. Wenninger also allowed two earned runs or fewer for the 11th-time. His final line: L, 5.0 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 82 pitches (50 strikes).
The Rumble Ponies' bullpen kept them in the game. Right-hander Carlos Guzman recorded two strikeouts and stranded the bases loaded in the sixth inning. Right-hander Hunter Parsons threw two perfect innings with two strikeouts on his 28th birthday. Right-hander Cameron Foster tossed a scoreless ninth inning.
In the bottom of the ninth, Binghamton brought the potential go-ahead run to the plate. Third baseman Jacob Reimer (0-for-3, HBP, K) was hit by a pitch with one out in the frame and reached base for the first time in his Double-A career. The next two batters were retired, as right-hander Yovanny Cruz recorded his fourth save.
The Rumble Ponies continue their six-game home series against the Sea Dogs (Double-A, Boston Red Sox) on Wednesday at Mirabito Stadium. First pitch is set for 6:07 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on WNBF News Radio 1290 & 92.1 FM.
