Akron Aeros Demolish the Binghamton Mets 14-5, Continue Dominance of the B-Mets

MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com – Nick Evans homered and drove in a pair, but the Akron Aeros scored in five different innings for a 14-5 win over the Binghamton Mets at NYSEG Stadium Sunday.  Binghamton has dropped three straight to Akron.

Akron (55-33) didn’t trail after a three-run first.  Wes Hodges opened the scoring with a two-run triple off Jose Sanchez before coming in on Matt Whitney’s base hit up the middle. Brandon Chaves scored on a Sanchez (8-5) wild pitch in the second to put the Aeros ahead 4-0.

Evans got the B-Mets (48-40) on the board in the fourth, with a leadoff homer to left-center off Ryan Edell (5-5).  However, Akron put the game away with a four-run fifth.  Stephen Head doubled in a run before scoring on an error.  Wyatt Toregas added a two-run double later in the frame for an 8-1 Akron lead.

Whitney doubled in a run in the seventh and Toregas hit a three-run homer to put Akron up 12-1.  Jonathan Malo, Jose Coronado and Fernando Martinez connected on three straight singles in the bottom of the seventh, the latter scoring Malo with Binghamton’s second run.
