LAST GAME: After putting up 10 runs Tuesday, the bats returned
with another fine performance in the B-Mets 9-1 win
over Richmond Wednesday night at NYSEG Stadium. Luis
Hernandez led 12-hit attack with three hits, including a solo
homer, his second. Binghamton got to Squirrels’ starter Mike
MacDonald early and often with a five-run first inning in which
10 men came to the plate. He didn’t fare much better in the
second, allowing the first four to reach before departing. The
B-Mets led 7-0 after two innings and were well on their way to
a second straight win over Richmond. Eric Niesen returned
from the disabled list and failed to allow a hit over 3.1 innings
as the starter. Edgar Ramirez notched his second win with 3.2
innings of shutout relief. Kirk Nieuwenhuis homered for the
second straight game, a solo shot in the third off reliever Craig
Whitaker. Eric Campbell drove in two more runs with a pair of
singles. The only solid pitching performance for Richmond
came from lefty Wilmin Rodriguez, who tossed the final four
innings in scoreless fashion.
