Celebrate Rumble Ponies’ Championship Win At Mirabito Stadium

The Binghamton Rumble Ponies have done it again. They defeated the Erie SeaWolves 8-2 in the decisive Game 3 of the Eastern League Championship Series at UPMC Park. It's their fourth Eastern League championship in their history and their first since 2014.

Binghamton Rumble Ponies Win Eastern League Championship

They jumped out to an early 2-0 lead by scoring two runs with two outs in the 1st inning and secured the win by scoring three runs in the ninth for the 8-2 win. Binghamton had the best record in Double-A with a franchise-record 90 wins and won the first and second-half Northeast Division title.
That wasn't good enough for home field advantage because they don't go by record. The Ponies play in the Northeast Division while Erie comes from the Southwest. They take turns every year, so the SeaWolves had the home field advantage.

Eastern League Playoffs Need To Do Better

The Eastern League Championship series used to be a five-game series but changed to a three-game affair around the time of Covid. The Ponies played game 1 at Mirabito Stadium on Sunday and went on the road for games 2 and 3.

The Pones had NO WAY of winning and celebrating at home and major league baseball needs to better. If they are going to stick with the 3-game format, they should at least divide it up so that the team with the home-field advantage plays game 1 and 3 at home. That way both teams would have the chance to win at home but I digress.
