BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Behind Christian Scott’s dominant start, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (1-0, 36-34) shutout the Hartford Yard Goats 3-0 on Wednesday night at Mirabito Stadium. The Ponies opened the second half of the season and the series with a win.
Scott
(3-0) threw a career-high seven scoreless innings with six strikeouts. He
allowed just two hits and two walks. The 24-year-old faced the minimum in six
of his seven innings of work.
In
three starts at the Double-A level for Binghamton, Scott is 3-0 and has
combined for 23 strikeouts over 18.2 innings. He has allowed just three runs on
eight hits and four walks over that span.
Daison Acosta pitched a perfect eighth inning with two strikeouts and William Woods
struck out two batters over a scoreless ninth inning. Woods earned his first
save of the year with Binghamton.
Hartford’s
(0-1, 29-39) starter Case Williams held the Ponies in check with four scoreless
frames, until they were able to break through in the fifth inning. Hayden Senger delivered a sacrifice fly that scored Agustin Ruiz and Wyatt Young hit
an RBI single that scored Jose Mena to give Binghamton a 2-0 lead.
The
Ponies added another run in the eighth inning on Ruiz’s RBI single that scored
Young. The left-handed batter had just four hits this season against
left-handed pitchers up until that point, but delivered in a big spot to give
Binghamton a 3-0 lead.
The
Rumble Ponies will continue their series with the Yard Goats on Thursday night.
First pitch is set for 6:35 PM and pregame coverage gets underway at 6:20 PM on
