For Immediate Release
BINGHAMTON, NY – Carlos Cortes' two-run single in the fifth inning gave the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (6-15, 34-56) a 4-2 lead they wouldn't relinquish en-route to an 8-2 series opening win over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (9-13, 40-51) on Tuesday night at Mirabito Stadium.
Ronny Mauricio tied the game at two in the fifth with a double off the right field wall scoring Luke Ritter, which then set up Cortes's single to right off Fisher Cats reliever Sean Mellen (2-2), bringing Brett Baty and Mauricio home.
Binghamton tied the game at one with an RBI groundout from Baty in the first which came right after Ritter hit a triple past diving left fielder Rafael Lantigua. Baty also added an RBI single in the eighth finishing 3-5 with two RBI.
The Ponies added a run in the fifth to make it 5-2 and Ritter's two-run single in the eighth gave Binghamton some insurance with a 7-2 lead.
New Hampshire scored its two runs on an Addison Barger home run in the first to open the scoring and a solo homer from Rafael Lantigua in the second.

The Ponies will continue their series with the Fisher Cats on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PM with pregame coverage beginning at 12:50 PM on CBS Sports Radio 1360 WYOS.
