BINGHAMTON, NY – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (5-14, 33-55) fought back from down 5-0 to tie the game in the sixth, but Michael Toglia's second solo homerun of the night led Hartford to a 6-5 win on Friday night at Mirabito Stadium as the 1992 Eastern League championship team was honored.
Toglia took a pitch from Ponies reliever Mitch Ragan (1-3) into left centerfield in the eighth which gave Hartford the one run edge. The switch-hitter also hit a homer to make it 5-0 Yard Goats in the fifth. He finished 2-4 with two RBI.
Aaron Schunk opened the scoring in the second with his ninth homer of the season and 58th RBI off Ponies starter Garrison Bryant. Hartford (12-7, 55-33) added one in the third and two more in the fourth on Willie MacIver's RBI single. MacIver eventually scored on a throwing error to give Hartford a 4-0 lead.
