6/10 Minor League Report! THOLE, BOWMAN, PENA, Flores!

Binghamton 10, Harrisburg 7

The top 4 in the Mets order (Coronado, Evans, Thole, Petersen) all had multi hit games, combining to go 10 for 17 with 6 RBI, and powering the Mets to a 10-7 victory. Shawn Bowman also had a multi hit game, while Lucas Duda (0 for 5, 2 Ks, .278) took the only 0-fer. The Mets had 15 hits and drew 5 walks, and were a very good 7 for 17 with RISP, though they did leave 10 men on base.

Eric Brown pitched reasonably well, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits in 6.1 innings for his 4th win of the season, but things got dicey in the 9th after Edgar Ramirez allowed 3 runs and left with the tying run at the plate. Roy Merritt bailed him out, striking out the tying run for his 11th save.
