BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – With the game tied 2-2 and Jaylen Palmer at second base with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Matt Rudick ripped a walk-off single to lead the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (24-22, 59-54) to a 3-2 win over the Reading Fightin Phils on Wednesday night at Mirabito Stadium.
It marked Rudick's second walk-off hit this season. Rudick belted a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth against Erie on July 19. It was Binghamton's fifth walk-off win of the season.
With Binghamton down 2-1, Rowdey Jordan began the ninth inning with a single against Cristian Hernandez (1-3). With one out, Jordan stole second base. Palmer then ripped a game-tying RBI double to left-center that made it 2-2. With two outs, Rudick hit a walk-off single to center field that drove in Palmer on a 2-2 pitch and won the game for Binghamton, 3-2.
Rudick went 3-for-3 with the walk-off hit, two singles, one double, and two walks. He reached base five times in the game. It marked his team-leading 22nd multi-hit game and fifth game with at least three hits.
Cam Robinson (3-1) earned the win after tossing a scoreless top of the ninth inning to set up Rudick's walk-off. Cameron Foster struck out three batters over two scoreless innings, while issuing just one hit and one walk in relief.
Jordan Geber went a season-high six innings in his start for Binghamton. He allowed two runs on five hits and one walk and recorded three strikeouts. Geber retired 11-straight batters to close out the second inning through the end of the fifth inning.
Reading (20-27, 51-64) got on the board against Geber in the second inning. Caleb Ricketts and Trevor Schwecke hit back-to-back singles. Zach Arnold then grounded into a double play, which brought home Ricketts and put Reading up 1-0.
Binghamton tied the game in the third inning. Wyatt Young led off with a walk and Rudick followed with a single. Both runners advanced a base on a passed ball and eventually Young scored on Jeremiah Jackson's sacrifice fly that made it 1-1.
Reading grabbed the lead again in the sixth inning. Justin Crawford, Erick Brito, and Gabriel Rincones Jr. hit three-straight singles to start the inning and load the bases. Carson Taylor grounded into a double play that brought home Crawford and put Reading up 2-1.
Foster and Robinson combined to throw three scoreless frames in relief, which set up Binghamton's furious ninth-inning comeback.
The Rumble Ponies continue their six-game series against the Fightin Phils (Double-A, Philadelphia Phillies) on Thursday at Mirabito Stadium. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on WNBF News Radio 1290 & 92.1 FM and MiLB.TV.
