Not a good night for the Rumble Ponies, as they were shut out against Somerset, 3-0, at TD Bank Ballpark. 

Binghamton right-hander Bryce Conley battled through 6.0 innings after walking three hitters in the first inning, but on four days' rest, Conley tossed a quality start with five strikeouts while allowing three runs. He is the only Binghamton player this year to go at least 6.0 innings in back-to-back outings.

Right-hander Cade Smith matched a career high of 7.0 innings pitched that he set on May 23, 2024, with Single-A Tampa. Smith did not allow a run and just surrendered three hits while striking out five.

Jefry Yan has been scoreless over his last 6.0 innings with 10 strikeouts over his last 4.0 innings

Thursday, June 11, 2026 - Patriots - 3  Rumble Ponies - 1

Binghamton dropped its third straight game against the Patriots on Thursday, 3-1. 

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga made his fourth rehab start of the season and his first with Double-A Binghamton tonight against Somerset. He pulled in a quality start with 6.0 innings pitched, allowing just one hit and one run while punching out five batters. The 33-year-old threw 75 pitches, 51 of them being strikes.

The 6.0 innings pitched tie a season high that Senga set with the Mets on March 31 against the St. Louis Cardinals. The go-to pitch for Senga is the “ghost fork,” and he used that pitch on four of his five strikeouts.

Chris Suero hit his ninth home run, tying a team lead with Nick Lorusso.

Friday, June 12, 2026 - Rumble Ponies - 7  Patriots - 5

The Rumble Ponies came from behind to defeat Somerset, 7-5, Friday night, after third baseman Nick Lorusso blasted a go-ahead three-run home run in the ninth inning.

Lorusso, with two outs and two strikes in the top of the ninth inning, smashed a three-run home run that put Binghamton ahead 7-4. Lorusso finished the game with a career-high-tying three hits and a career-high five runs batted in.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, right-hander Brian Metoyer recorded the save. He threw 34 pitches and stranded the potential-tying run on second base after a run scored on a wild pitch that made it 7-5. Metoyer recorded his fourth save of the season.

Chase Hampton made his first Double-A start since August 10, 2024, against Binghamton. Third baseman Nick Lorusso roped a two-run double to make it 2-0 Rumble Ponies. He now has 26 RBIs on the year.

Saturday, June 13, 2026 - Patriots - 4  Rumble Ponies - 3

The Rumble Ponies dropped a 4-3 contest to the Patriots on Saturday. Right-hander Brendan Girton only finished 2.0 innings, throwing 55 pitches and just 28 for strikes.

Left-hander Kyle Carr flipped his outing upside down after throwing 72 pitches over his first 4.0 innings, as he was pulled in the seventh inning with one out, allowing three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts. 

JT Schwartz chalked up his sixth multi-hit game, and Vincent Perozo belted out his fifth homer on Saturday.

Sunday, June 14, 2026 - Patriots - 7  Rumble Ponies - 6

Binghamton lost the series finale as Somerset walked it off in the 10th inning to win 7-6. The Patriots took the series five games to one and finished the year 11-7 against Binghamton, as the two teams will not play in the second half of the season.

Somerset shortstop Owen Cobb laid down a sacrifice bunt and forced a throwing error from Binghamton third baseman Kevin Villavicencio, allowing Kevin Verde to score the winning run.

The Rumble Ponies are now 6-2 in extra-inning games and have fallen for the first time on the road in extra innings.  Jacob Reimer knocked out his 6th home run of the year, TT Bowens over the last two games had three hits and three RBIs, Vincent Perozo now has 10 XBH in 23 games, and Zach Peek in his first game back with Binghamton since May 15th.
