BINGHAMTON 7, NEW BRITAIN 2; BINGHAMTON 2, NEW BRITAIN 1: After rain halted play Friday, the scoreless game resumed in the fourth inning Saturday. Josh Rodriguez ultimately drove in three runs and Brock Peterson had two RBIs. Peterson's two-run double in the fourth gave the B-Mets a 2-0 lead. He has driven in 11 runs in seven games since joining the club. New Britain got on the scoreboard in the sixth against Matt Koch (4-2), when Tom Murphy produced a run-scoring infield single. However, Binghamton broke the game open in the home half with five runs against Ryan Arrowood. Rodriguez contributed a three-run double for his fourth straight multi-RBI game. Two batters later, Dustin Lawley drove in Rodriguez with a double. Eudy Pina plated Lawley with a single. New Britain added a run in the ninth against Adam Kolarek, who had walked the bases loaded. Rodriguez's error allowed the run to come across.
In Game 2, Paul Sewald stranded the go-ahead run in scoring position in the final inning to close the door on Robert Gsellman’s first career Double-A win. Michael Conforto opened the scoring with a two-out homer in the first. Bryan Evans walked three B-Mets in the second. He allowed the B-Mets' second run to score when he issued a bases-loaded free pass to Gsellman. Gsellman (1-2) had stranded the bases loaded in his half of the second inning. New Britain was held scoreless until Juan Ciriaco's RBI single in the sixth against Gsellman. Sewald came on for the save in the seventh and allowed back-to-back one-out singles. Tyler Massey's groundout advanced both runners. With the go-ahead run at second, Sewald got Mike Tauchman to strike out looking for his 10th save. Box 1, Box 2
ST. LUCIE 7, PALM BEACH 3: David Washington narrowly missed a game-tying grand slam with two outs in the ninth and St. Lucie held on. After Josh Smoker retired the first two batters in the top of the final frame, Robelyes Reyes doubled and C.J. McElroy followed with an RBI single. Smoker then coaxed a routine ground ball from Juan Herrera, but third baseman Jeff McNeil’s throw to first was low and Matt Oberste could not scoop it for the final out. Brett Wiley then walked to load the bases. That brought up Washington, who has 51 career minor league homers. He sent a pitch deep to left field that was caught by Stefan Sabol for the final out. St. Lucie starter Rob Whalen limited the Cardinals to one earned run and four hits over 7 1/3 innings. The Mets had opened a 7-2 lead with a four-run eighth. Colton Plaia belted a two-run double and Champ Stuart crushed a two-run homer. Dominic Smith finished 3-for-4. Smoker earned his third save. Box
