BINGHAMTON, NY - The Bowie Baysox stole the middle game from the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, 13-7, Wednesday night at NYSEG Stadium. Bowie used a seven-run eighth inning for the come-from-behind victory, while sending the Rumble Ponies to their first loss when leading after five innings. The teams combined for 29 hits in the three hour and seventeen minute affair game.

Needing just 82 pitches to complete seven innings, P.J. Conlon returned to the mound for the top of the eighth inning with a 6-3 lead. The lefty was yanked after allowing back-to-back hits to Cedric Mullins and Adrian Marin to begin the frame. Luis Rojas summoned Cory Burns from the bullpen to douse the impending flame. Instead, the first seven batters Burns faced reached base successfully. Bowie sent 11 men to the plate, scoring seven runs on seven hits to take a 10-6 advantage after the top half of the eighth.

The Rumble Ponies got one run back in the home half of the inning, but that tally would be Binghamton’s last. With Matt Oberste on first, David Thompson doubled down the left field line, scoring Oberste and cutting it to a 10-7 deficit. Thompson picked up his team-leading 38th RBI.

Burns (0-2) suffered his second loss of the season in 23 combined appearances between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas. He allowed five earned runs in his lone inning of work, while issuing one walk.
