Postgame Notes: The Rumble Ponies were shutout for the third time this season…Rowdey Jordan extended his hitting streak to seven games and has recorded a hit in 16 of his last 18 games…Brandon McIlwain had a single and a double and recorded his seventh multi-hit game…Trey McLoughlin and Daniel Juarez each threw a scoreless inning in relief for Binghamton.
When the going gets tough - Blade Tidwell shines - after a walk and a single, Blade picks off the runner on 1st, gets a pop-up and a K to escape unscored. @RumblePoniesBB #Mets #LGM #MetsTwitter @ernestdove @FarmToFlushing @bkfan09 @WexlerRules @ImAriBeRKO @bronxfanatic… pic.twitter.com/bU6FeNktQk
