For Immediate Release, May 28, 2023, by Matt Levine
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (22-22) pulled off a wild walk-off win over the Richmond Flying Squirrels, winning 10-9 in extra innings, on Sunday night at Mirabito Stadium. With the victory, Binghamton took five-of-six games in the series and got back to .500.
In the bottom of the 10th inning, Matt Rudick was called upon to pinch-run for Agustin Ruiz as the automatic runner on second base. Joe Suozzi started the inning with a game-tying RBI triple, in just his fourth game at the Double-A level, which made it 9-9.
Richmond (21-23) intentionally walked Tanner Murphy and Matt O’Neill to load up the bases with no outs. Rowdey Jordan then worked a walk to score Suozzi from third and win the game 10-9.
Binghamton carried a 7-5 lead into the eighth inning, but the Squirrels scored twice in the eighth and Brady Whalen homered in the ninth, for the second time this series, to give Richmond an 8-7 lead.
Luke Ritter led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk. Later in the inning, with Ritter on third and two outs, Richmond right-hander Blake Rivera committed a balk allowing Ritter to score and Binghamton to tie the game 8-8.
The Ponies were in control for most of the game, getting out to a 6-2 lead after three innings. Brandon McIlwain had a two-run double in the first and Murphy clobbered a three-run homer in the third.
The Rumble Ponies will hit the road for a 12-game road trip starting against the Altoona Curve (Double-A, Pittsburgh Pirates) on Tuesday. First pitch is set for 6:00 PM on the WNBF Rumble Ponies Radio Network.
