Batista's Big Night Leads To Win For B-Mets
Wilson Batista was 3 for 4 with three RBI and two runs scored, helping the Binghamton Mets to a 4-3 win over the Bowie Baysox at NYSEG Stadium Friday. The win is Binghamton's second straight in the series and 10th in their last 12 games.
Batista opened the scoring in the B-Mets' (44-46) half of the first, hitting a one-out homer off James Johnson for a 1-0 lead. However, Jeff Fiorentino's third-inning sacrifice fly scored Pete Shier with the tying run for Bowie (39-48) before Noah Hall homered in the sixth for a 2-1 lead.
Singles by Batista, Andy Wilson and Michel Abreu loaded the bases with no out for Binghamton in the bottom of the sixth before Carlos Gomez hit a game-tying sacrifice fly that scored Batista. In the seventh, Corey Ragsdale was hit by a pitch before Rashad Eldridge singled with two out, chasing Johnson (8-4). After reliever Jason Pearson balked both runners into scoring position, Batista lined a base hit to left, scoring Ragsdale and Eldridge for a 4-2 B-Mets lead.
Bowie's final run came in the ninth on an Orlando Roman wild pitch that scored Gera Alvarez from third with two outs. Roman held on to get the final out, picking up his first save. Saturday, the B-Mets play the third game of their four-game series against the Bowie Baysox. Miguel Perez (3-4, 4.61) will start for Binghamton against lefthander Eric DuBose (4-0, 1.73) of Bowie. The first pitch is slated for 7:00 at NYSEG Stadium with radio broadcast starting at 6:45 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
