BINGHAMTON, NY – The New Hampshire Fisher
Cats launched three home runs in an eleven-hit attack to defeat the Binghamton
Mets 8-2 Saturday night at NYSEG Stadium. All eight runs for the Fisher Cats
scored with two outs.
Before the offense erupted
for New Hampshire, the B-Mets held an early lead against starter Brett Cecil in
the first. Sean Kazmar started the rally with a single to right and took second
when Josh Rodriguez walked. Jefry Marte brought Kazmar home by lacing the first
pitch he saw into center for an RBI single.
After two rocky outings against the Fisher
Cats, B-Mets starter Greg Peavey got off to strong start in his third game
against the club. The righty needed just 24 pitches to retire the first nine
Fisher Cats to start the game.
The stretch ended in the
fourth when Ryan Goins led off the inning with a single. Goins was thrown out at
third by catcher Juan Centeno trying to swipe the bag, but Brian Van Kirk kept
the inning alive with a two-out double. Mike McDade gave the Fisher Cats the
lead for good by launching a two-run homer to right center field.
New Hampshire used another
two out rally to add to their lead in the fifth. Brad Glenn and Brian Jeroloman
set the table with consecutive two-out singles. Behind in the count 0-2, Ryan
Goins ripped a three-run homer to right field. His third homer of the year gave
the Fisher Cats a 5-1 advantage.
Peavey (3-2) battled past
the two home runs and posted two scoreless innings to cap his night. The righty
allowed five runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out three. He
matched a season-high with seven innings in the losing effort.
The B-Mets scratched back
with a run in the seventh off Cecil. Reese Havens walked to start the inning and
scored when Juan Lagares shot a double to the left field alley. Binghamton’s
threat was quickly erased when Pedro Zapata lined into a double play to end the
inning.
Cecil (3-2) went a
season-long seven innings to collect his third win in as many games. The lefty
allowed two runs on seven hits and gave way to Danny Farquhar who tossed a
perfect eighth inning. After the Fisher Cats put the game out of reach with
three runs off Erik Turgeon in the top of the ninth, Farquhar posted a scoreless
inning to cap his first save of the season,
The B-Mets (22-25) continue their
