Ponies Fall at Home in Tight Sunday Afternoon Contest, Split Series with Somerset

BINGHAMTON, NY – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (19-31) fell 5-4 to the Somerset Patriots (32-18) on Sunday afternoon at Mirabito Stadium, splitting the six-game series.

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill made his rehab appearance pitching three and two thirds innings giving up three hits and two runs while walking none and striking out five. Somerset's Josh Breaux registered one of the hits with a homer to left to open the scoring in the first and a single from Max Burt in the third. Megill struck out the side in the second with three swinging strikeouts. He threw 53 pitches with 36 of them being strikes.

Binghamton responded to the Burt homer with a Ronny Mauricio solo shot to right centerfield tying the game at one off Somerset starter Sean Boyle (2-3).

The Ponies then tacked on three runs on back-to-back pitches in the third all via the long ball. Francisco Alvarez wrapped a two-run shot around the left field pole and Mauricio added his second of the afternoon to deep right field and Binghamton took a 4-2 lead.

Somerset made it 4-3 with a solo home run from Chad Bell in the fifth then grabbed a 5-4 lead in the sixth on a two-run blast from Brandon Lockridge off Ponies pitcher Alec Kisena (1-5).

The Somerset bullpen then allowed just one hit and two base-runners for the remainder of the afternoon.

The Ponies will continue their 12-game homestand against the New Hampshire Fishercats on Tuesday evening. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM with pregame coverage beginning at 6:20 PM on NewsRadio 1290 WNBF and 92.1 FM.
