10 Walks, 2 Hit Batters Doom Fisher Cats
Binghamton opens series with 9-4 win.
Manchester, NH [May 4, 2017] The Fisher Cats started their five-game homestand with a 9-4 loss to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies on Thursday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
The Fisher Cats walked 10 batters and hit two, narrowly missing the team-record of 13 free passes. Those 12 baserunners accounted for five of Binghamton's nine runs.
The first four Binghamton batters reached base to start the game, and all came in to score against Sean Reid-Foley (L, 1-3). Raffy Lopez cut into the 4-0 deficit with a solo homer in the second inning, but Binghamton rallied again in the fifth inning to extend the lead to 6-1.
Richard Urena drew a bases-loaded walk in the fourth to make it 6-2 before two more Binghamton runs came home in the top of the fifth. Trailing 9-2 in the seventh, New Hampshire got a lift from Derrick Loveless, who laced a two-run double to left center.
The Fisher Cats loaded the bases in the third, fourth and sixth innings, but could only score on the walk to Urena. Lopez and Loveless each finished with multiple hits, while Tim Lopes drew three walks in the losing effort.
The series continues with a doubleheader on Friday, starting at 5:35 p.m.
