After a Mark Vientos solo homer in the eighth to claim the game’s first lead, the Binghamton bats could not respond to a 3-run ninth from Erie, falling 3-1. The Rumble Ponies managed to put together a rally in the bottom half of the ninth as bases were loaded for Brett Baty with two outs. But the recently-promoted third baseman struck out to end the game.
The Ponies garnered just four hits on the night with half of them coming in the final two innings.

However, the flood gates opened in the ninth as the SeaWolves scored three runs on four hits off of Tom Hackimer, who earned the loss.

Brooklyn’s most productive inning came in the second as Gonzalez hit an RBI double and he later scored thanks to a throwing error by Wilmington. Despite the Cyclones’ success, No. 2 prospect Ronny Mauricio couldn’t build off of it as he went 0-for-4 in the win.
