Ponies Fall Short Against Sea Dogs at Mirabito BINGHAMTON, NY – The Rumble Ponies fell to the Portland Sea Dogs 4-1 on Thursday night at Mirabito Stadium, dropping their fifth game in a row. Portland scored all four of their runs via the home run and Binghamton’s ninth inning rally came up short.

His only blemish was a first inning home run given up to Portland RF Tate Matheny. It’s Matheny’s second homer in as many games. The score remained 1-0 until the eighth inning when Ponies reliever Jared Robinson allowed back-to-back home runs. Joey Meneses hit a two-run homer to center and the next batter Hudson Potts hit a solo shot to make it 4-0 Sea Dogs. Binghamton loaded the bases in the ninth and got on the board via a Quinn Brodey sacrifice fly. They brought the tying run to the plate in pinch hitter Carlos Cortes, who struck out looking to end the game. Gordon is the hard-luck loser while Enmanuel De Jesus (2-1) got the win pitching five scoreless frames for Portland (23-16).
