Syracuse Mets Survive 13 Innings To Beat Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

Christian Arroyo's two-run single in the 13th inning lifted the Syracuse Mets past the RailRiders 7-4 in Scranton. The cleanup hitter went 3-for-7 with two RBI. Jihwan Bae added two hits and scored twice, Hayden Senger homered to left in the sixth for his sixth of the season, and Ryan Clifford doubled, drove in a run, and scored.

Jack Wenninger turned in five innings of one-hit baseball, walking three and striking out seven without allowing a run. Anderson Severino picked up the win with two scoreless innings, and Mike Baumann worked a clean 13th for the save.

Trailing 4-2 entering the ninth, Syracuse rallied. With one out, Bae reached on an error, Clifford doubled to right to score Bae, Arroyo singled, and Yonny Hernández singled through the left side to plate Clifford and tie the game at four. The Mets stranded the go-ahead runs at second and third when Hayden Senger struck out swinging.

In the 13th, with Matt Rudick aboard as the zombie runner, leadoff man Nick Morabito laid down a sacrifice bunt that turned into a throwing error by the first baseman, scoring Rudick. Bae singled to put runners on the corners. After a Clifford strikeout, Arroyo singled to left to score Morabito and Bae. Syracuse left 20 runners on base.

Rumble Ponies Shut Out In 3-0 Loss At Somerset

The Binghamton Rumble Ponies managed two hits in a 3-0 loss to the Somerset Patriots. Nick Lorusso and JT Schwartz each singled, and Wyatt Young drew two walks. Eli Serrano III and Jacob Reimer also walked. Binghamton struck out 12 times and left seven on base.

Brendan Girton struck out seven over five innings, allowing three hits, one earned run, and one walk. The Patriots got to him in the first when a leadoff single and a one-out walk set up a two-out RBI single to left for the only run charged to Girton. Girton settled in afterward, working a perfect third and fourth and stranding lone runners in the second and fifth.

Binghamton's best chance came in the eighth. Young walked, Serrano walked, but Chris Suero popped out, Reimer flew out, and Jose Ramos struck out to end the inning.

Cyclones Blanked 2-0 By Rome Emperors

The Brooklyn Cyclones were shut out 2-0 by the Rome Emperors. Leadoff man Mitch Voit and Daiverson Gutierrez delivered the only hits, both singles, and Ronald Hernandez drew the team's lone walk. Brooklyn struck out 12 times and left three runners on base.

Joel Díaz walked seven over four innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits with three strikeouts. The Emperors broke through in the fourth. Díaz walked the leadoff man, induced an inning-ending double play that instead stayed alive, surrendered a two-out single, and then issued three consecutive walks, the last forcing in a run with the bases loaded.

The Cyclones' best look came in the seventh. With two outs, Hernandez walked, and Gutierrez singled him to second, but Corey Collins struck out swinging.
