Binghamton 3, Connecticut 7

Eric Brown, coming off one of the best outings of his career in long relief (6.2 ip, 2 h, 1/2 bb/k), had one of his worst, giving up 9 hits and 5 runs in 5.1 innings to take the loss for the Mets this morning. Stephen Clyne allowed both of Brown’s IHR to score, and then allowed 2 of his own runs, which provided the final margin of defeat.

The Mets had 9 hits and 2 walks, but were a woeful 1 for 6 with RISP and left 8 on base (of course, they had the defintion of a B lineup in there, even in AA ball). Jose Coronado (ss, 0 for 4, run, BB, K, .316), Salvador Paniagua (0 for 4, K, .148) and Ruben Tejada (2b, 0 for 4, .236) took 0-fers, while the middle of the order (Wabick, Petersen, Duda) each had 2 hits, and were a combined 6 for 11 with all 3 RBI.
