Two batters later with runners on second and third with one out, Hayden Senger got the Ponies on the board with a sac fly off Chavez Fernander (0-1) and to give Binghamton a 1-0 lead as Mauricio moved up to third.
The next batter Johneshwy Fargas hit an RBI single to right field scoring Mauricio and to put the Ponies up 2-0.
