First Inning Dooms B-Mets in Finale, 3-1

MANCHESTER, NH - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats scored three times in the first inning and defeated the Binghamton Mets, 3-1, on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. The B-Mets were limited to four hits and watched their season-best six-game winning streak come to an end.

Shortstop Phillip Evans' fielding error to start the first opened the door for the Fisher Cats. Rowdy Tellez skipped an RBI single up the middle and Matt Dean followed by lacing a run-producing double into the right-field alley. Jorge Saez ripped an RBI single into left to cap the big frame. Gsellman faced eight batters and needed 35 pitches to survive the first.

Gsellman settled down after the rocky start and answered back with four scoreless innings. After the Fisher Cats opened the game 4-for-8 at the plate, Gsellman held them hitless in their next 11 at-bats. The righty set down the final 10 batters he faced as he battled through the fifth inning.

Fisher Cat starter Luis Santos held the B-Mets to one run over six innings in his fourth career Double-A start. The righty put down six straight before Xorge Carrillo started the third with a double to the left-field gap. Jared King put the B-Mets on the board, and earned his first RBI of the season, by slicing a double down the left-field line. Santos capped his day, and preserved the New Hampshire lead, by setting down 12 of the final 14 batters he faced.

Danny Barnes mowed down all six B-Mets he faced after taking over in the seventh. Wil Browning worked a perfect ninth to earn his second save. The Fisher Cats pitching staff retired the final 12 B-Met batters in order and prevented any runner from getting past first base after the third inning.

Gsellman (1-1) allowed three runs, all unearned, on four hits over five innings in his first loss of the season. Santos (2-0) struck out seven and issued no walks to pick up the win.

The B-Mets (11-10) continue their road trip and start a four-game series against the Portland Sea Dogs on Monday night at 6:00 PM. LHP Andrew Barbosa takes the mound against RHP Teddy Stankiewicz.
