Key Moments
  • Bryant scored four times in the first inning to grab the early lead.
  • Binghamton loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh and trailed 7-6. Rizy pitched out of it, with a line drive double play and a soft ground out.
How it Happened
  • Bryant got off to a hot start as each of the first four batters reached and scored. Zyons got things started as he launched the first of the game deep to right center for a leadoff home run. Noriega walked, took second on an errant pickoff and scored as Wyers singled through the middle. A second walk put two on and Matt D'Amato advanced both with a sac bunt. Pat D'Amico followed with a sac fly and Gavin Greger hit a sinking liner to right that alluded a diving fielder for an RBI double to make it 4-0.
  • The Black and Gold extended their lead in the third as Durand opened the inning with a double and came around to score on a single to left from D'Amico.
  • Binghamton got on the board in the third thanks to the long ball. Bolton hit a leadoff solo home run to left and Devan Bade hit a hanging curveball over the left center wall to make it 5-3.
  • Bryant quickly answered, plating two runs in the top of the fourth. The Bulldogs loaded the bases with one out but a pop out on the infield made it two outs. D'Amato then fell behind 0-2 before working the count even at 2-2. He then grounded on through the right side to plate two and make it 7-3.
  • The Bearcats cut into the lead in the fifth as they chased Michael Belcher with a two-out rally. Belcher retired the first two batters but a single, double and a walk loaded the bases. Mike Stellrecht then greeted Rizy with a two-run single to right field on the first pitch. Rizy bounced back to get a fly out to end the inning.
  • In the seventh, back-to-back singles opened the inning and Rizy misplayed a bunt to load the bases with no outs. Abraham then singled to right to score a run and make it 7-6. Stellrecht then hit a liner down the first base line that Grady caught and quickly stepped on first for the double play. Rizy then induced a slow ground ball to second to strand runners on second and third.
  • Rizy came back out in the eighth and retired the side before handing the ball to Scheidt in the ninth. Scheidt retired the first two in the ninth before allowing a single. He came back to get a strikeout to end the game.
