LE MOYNE FALLS TO LATE INNING SURGE BY BINGHAMTON TO SNAP
NINE GAME WIN STREAK.
SYRACUSE, NY – Behind Brian Ivan’s 3-for-5 effort with
two home runs and five RBI’s, the Binghamton Bearcats topped
the Le Moyne Dolphins 12-10 at Dick Rockwell Field on Wednesday. Le
Moyne (20-17) was once again led by Robby Perez who homered for the
third consecutive game.
Binghamton (14-21) got on the board in the top half of the second
as Ivan connected for his first of two home runs as he took Le
Moyne starter Cory Nelson over the wall in left center. Perez
pulled Le Moyne within one in the bottom half of the inning with an
RBI single to right center platting Phil St. Amant.
The Bearcats would flex their muscle in the top of the fourth with
Ryan James and Ivan connecting for two-run home runs, pushing the
lead to 6-1. As they did earlier in the game, the Dolphins
responded in their following at-bat scoring two runs on
Perez’s home run to left center.
Down 6-3 in the bottom half of the seventh innings, the Dolphins
unleashed an attack on Bearcat reliever Matt Simone. Five straight
batters reached base and all scored to give Le Moyne an 8-6
advantage. The inning was highlighted by Chris Edmondson’s
towering blast to right field to plate three runs to give the
Dolphins their first lead of the day.
After retiring the first batter in the eight, Binghamton scrapped
together a couple of base runners to chance reliever Tom McDermott
from the game. The Bearcats would load the bases and connect for
two, two-out singles off reliever Luke Nellis to regain the lead at
10-8.
Le Moyne would scratch for a run in the eighth and one in the
ninth, but the Bearcats would hold on for the 12-10 victory. James
Giulietti earned his second win of the season with two innings of
relief and Greg Lane picked up his fifth save of the season.
For Le Moyne, Steve Crawford, Phil St. Amant and Sean Paino each
collected two hits and scored a run.
Le Moyne returns to action this weekend as they travel to take on
Siena in a three game series beginning on Saturday.
