BINGHAMTON, NY – With the aide of two late
home runs, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats beat the Binghamton Mets 3-1 in the
home opener at NYSEG Stadium.
Josh Rodriguez doubled down
the left field line in the fourth inning, which got the offense started. After
he moved over to third base on a wild pitch, he scored the first run of the game
on an RBI fielder’s choice from Cesar Puello. Unfortunately, that was the only
crooked number Binghamton would put up all night. New Hampshire starting pitcher
Deck McGuire held the B-Mets to just one run on two hits in 7.0 innings on the
hill, and earned his first win in 2013.
Binghamton starter Logan
Verrett worked his way out of trouble nearly the whole night, but lost the lead
after he gave up a solo home run to Adam Loewen in the 7th. Verrett
ended the night scattering seven hits and one run over seven innings. In the
next frame, Kevin Pillar hit the eventual game-winning two-run home run over the
left field wall off of reliever John Church to give New Hampshire a 3-1
lead.
Darrell Ceciliani and Josh Rodriguez both
reached base to start the bottom of the ninth, but Fisher Cat closer Chad Beck
retired the next three hitters to earn his third save of the season. On the
night, the B-Mets tallied just three hits; Rodriguez was responsible for two of
them.
The B-Mets (4-3) look to
even the series tomorrow night in game two of the four-game series at NYSEG
Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM, and the Horizons Federal Credit
Union Pregame Show begins at 6:50 PM on
Newsradio 1290 WNBF. RHP Tyler Pill (0-1, 7.20) will start for the B-Mets
against RHP Tyson Brummett (0-0, 0.00).
POSTGAME NOTES:
Logan Verrett pitched 7.0 innings and gave up only one run, the
third quality start by a B-Met starting pitcher….Today’s game is the fourth game
in 2013 where the B-Mets were held to 2 or fewer runs.
