That has led the 23-year old to have a 1-10 record, 6.94 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, and only 64...

Prior to this season, Oswalt never...

The Binghamton Rumble Ponies suffered a disappointing loss in game two of the Eastern Division playoffs falling to Trenton in a seesaw affair, 9-6. The loss snapped a nine-game Binghamton winning streak and evened the series at one game apiece. The action will now...
