PORTLAND, Maine – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (33-33, 68-65) exploded offensively, and Nolan McLean was dominant in a shutout of the Portland Sea Dogs, 9-0, on Thursday at Hadlock Field. Binghamton has won four-straight games and each of the first three games in this series. It marked Binghamton’s 11th shutout of the season.
Binghamton
led 1-0 heading into the fifth inning, before exploding for five runs in the
frame against Connelly Early (2-3). With runners on first and second base, Matt
O’Neill hit an RBI single that made it 2-0. Later in the frame, Ryan Clifford
crushed an opposite-field three-run home run with two outs against the
left-hander Early, which made it 5-0. It marked Clifford’s 18th home
run at the Double-A level. Jeremiah Jackson followed with a double and scored
on Kevin Parada’s RBI single that made it 6-0.
In
the ninth inning, Rowdey Jordan drew a walk against Felix Cepeda. Clifford
followed with an RBI double that had an exit velocity of 109 miles per hour and
made it 7-0. Clifford drove in four runs in the game with a three-run homer,
RBI double, and a walk. Jackson followed with a two-run home run over the high
left-field wall, which put Binghamton ahead 9-0. It marked Jackson’s Eastern
League-lead-tying 19th home run.
Nolan
McLean (2-8) was dominant in his final start of the 2024 season. McLean earned
the win and threw six scoreless innings with six strikeouts, while allowing
just two hits and two walks. He tied his career high going six innings and
finished his first full professional season strong. After issuing a two-out
walk in the second inning, McLean retired 10-straight batters.
Junior
Santos struck out three batters and allowed just one walk in two scoreless
frames out of the bullpen. Josh Hejka pitched a perfect ninth inning with one
strikeout to complete the shutout of Portland (40-26, 76-59).
Binghamton
started the scoring in the third inning. O’Neill walked and scored from first
base, after Jordan singled and an error was committed.
The
Rumble Ponies continue their final series of the season against the Portland
Sea Dogs (Double-A, Boston Red Sox) on Friday at Hadlock Field. First pitch is
set for 6 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on WNBF News Radio 1290 &
