BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Joander Suarez and Trey McLoughlin combined to throw a one-hit shutout, as the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (29-23, 64-57) beat the Harrisburg Senators, 1-0, on Thursday night at Mirabito Stadium.

McLoughlin threw three shutout frames with four strikeouts, while allowing just one hit. The only hit for Harrisburg (24-30, 55-67) was a triple from Brady House that led off the eighth inning. McLoughlin earned his fourth save of the season.

The Ponies scored their lone run of the game in the fifth inning. Kevin Parada drove in his first run at the Double-A level, reaching on a fielder's choice that scored Luisangel Acuña from third to make it 1-0.
