BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (38-18) defeated the Somerset Patriots, 7-4, in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Mirabito Stadium. Binghamton won five of six games in the series.
Binghamton grabbed the lead with a three-run third inning against right-hander Trent Sellers (1-3). The Ponies used small ball to score all three runs and take a 3-1 lead. In the frame, second baseman Jett Williams drove in a run on a fielder’s choice, center fielder Nick Morabito dropped down a squeeze bunt that scored a run, and left fielder JT Schwartz drew an RBI walk.
Binghamton scored another run in the fourth and took a 4-1 lead when Williams hit an RBI double. Williams finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs batted in, two runs scored, and two doubles.
With Binghamton leading 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, first baseman Ryan Clifford led off the frame with an opposite-field home run. It marked his 10th home run of the season. Later in the frame, Schwartz and third baseman William Lugo hit back-to-back doubles and Binghamton extended its lead to 6-3.
In the eighth inning, Morabito hit an RBI double that scored Williams, after he drew a two-out walk, which gave Binghamton a 7-4 lead.
Somerset (25-31) got off to a fast start against right-hander Joander Suarez (2-1). Second baseman Roc Riggio hit a leadoff home run on the first pitch of the game and gave Somerset a 1-0 lead. Suarez settled in, but Riggio blasted a two-run home run in the fifth inning that cut Binghamton’s lead to 4-3.
Suarez earned the win and struck out five batters over five innings of three-run ball. Right-hander Cameron Foster tossed two perfect innings with one strikeout in relief. Right-hander Anthony Nunez struck out two batters over one inning of work. Right-hander Ryan Lambert recorded his second save of the season with two strikeouts in a perfect ninth inning.
The Rumble Ponies open a 12-game road trip with a six-game series against the Richmond Flying Squirrels (Double-A, San Francisco Giants) on Tuesday at The Diamond. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on WNBF News Radio 1290 & 92.1 FM.
