The Binghamton Rumble Ponies jumped on Yard Goats starter Noah Davis and jumped out to an early lead and rolled to an 11-3 Eastern League Northeast Division win on Saturday night at Dunkin’ Donuts Park.
Davis (5-5) lasted four innings and allowed seven runs on five hits, including two home runs, in taking the loss. Hartford, now 3-2 to start the second half, has won three of five in the series with the finale Sunday.
Binghamton jumped out to a two-run lead on a two-run homer by Zach Ashford in the third. Hartford (46-28) cut the lead on a Jimmy Herron RBI single in the bottom of the inning. The Ponies then broke the game open with a five-run fourth keyed by Brett Baty’s three-run homer.
Herron had two of Hartford’s five hits and Brenton Doyle had a solo home run, his 10th of the season. Ashford drove in four Binghamton runs and Jeremy Vasquez had three hits.
