AKRON, OH – Ponies RHP Christian Scott led the way with another strong start in his second Double-A outing of his career as the Binghamton Rumble Ponies defeated the Akron RubberDucks 4-2 on Wednesday night at Canal Park. Binghamton has won three straight games.
Scott
(2-0) pitched a career-high six and two-thirds innings allowing just four hits
and two runs with two walks and eight strikeouts. He struck out the side in the
fifth and faced the minimum number of batters in five separate frames.
Binghamton
got on the board in the top of the first after a leadoff double by Wyatt Young.
Young advanced to third on a wild pitch and Jose Peroza drove him in on a
sacrifice fly to left. Young extended his hitting streak to nine games.
With
the Ponies down 2-1 in the fourth, Peroza singled to left to begin the inning
against RHP Tanner Burns (2-3). Later in the frame with two out, Agustin Ruiz
hit a go-ahead two-run homer to right that put Binghamton back on top 3-2. It’s
Ruiz eighth home run of the season.
The
Ponies would add a run in the eighth as Peroza drew a bases loaded walk to
force home Tanner Murphy and make it 4-2. Peroza finished with two RBIs and a
run scored for the game.
LHP
Tyler Thomas pitched an inning and a third of scoreless relief. In the ninth,
with two on and two out RHP Dylan Hall struck out Johnathan Rodriguez swinging
to end the game. It’s Hall’s fourth save of the season with Binghamton.
The
two teams continue their series on Thursday night with first pitch at 6:35 PM.
The NYCM Insurance Pregame Show begins at 6:20 PM on the WNBF Rumble Ponies
