READING,
PA – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (27-28) swept both games of Saturday’s
doubleheader against the Reading Fightin Phils (21-34) at FirstEnergy Stadium.
It’s the second time this season the Rumble Ponies have swept a doubleheader
and first time on the road. Binghamton came from behind to take both games
against the Fightins as each contest went into extra innings. The Rumble Ponies
earned the series victory as they’ve taken four of the first five games in the
series.
Game One: Rumble Ponies 4, Fightins 1 (8)
The
Rumble Ponies had not recorded a hit through the first six innings. In the
seventh, down 1-0, Luke Ritter led off the frame with a single to left and Jose Peroza doubled down the left field line. With second and third and none out,
Brandon McIlwain hit a sacrifice fly to right to tie the score at one.
In
the eighth, Matt Rudick hit a three-run homer to put the Ponies ahead 4-1. It
is Rudick’s ninth home run of the season.
Dom Hamel allowed just three hits and one run over six innings in the no-decision
with three walks and a season-high nine strikeouts. Trey McLoughlin (1-0)
earned the first win of his Double-A career throwing two scoreless frames in
relief.
Game Two: Rumble Ponies 8, Rumble Ponies 5 (8)
Down
5-1 in the sixth, Binghamton scored four runs in the sixth inning to tie the
score. The frame was highlighted by an RBI single from Jose Peroza and a
two-run double from Brandon McIlwain to pull the Ponies to cut the deficit to 5-4.
The next batter Hayden Senger tied the game at five with a sacrifice fly to
right.
In
the eighth, Luke Ritter’s RBI single put the Ponies ahead 6-5. Peroza followed
with a two-run double down the first-base line that extended the lead to 8-5.
Peroza also hit a solo home run over the high wall in right center field in the
second inning, giving the Ponies a 1-0 lead. It is Peroza’s eighth homer of the
year and second in his last three games. He finished game two 3-4 with 4 RBI
and two runs scored.
Marcel Renteria pitched a 1-2-3 eighth to earn his first save of the year. Justin Courtney pitched two scoreless frames in relief.
The
Rumble Ponies close out the series in Reading on Sunday with first pitch at
