HARTFORD-
Urena, 24, continued his assault on Hartford pitching with his big night. Signed as an international free agent by the New York Mets, when he was 17, Urena is hitting .327 with five home runs and 16 RBI against the Yard Goats in 14 games.
The 44th sellout crowd of the season at Dunkin' Donuts Park witnessed Urena's feat. The Yard Goats have had 16 straight sellouts, six straight capacity crowds and have now drawn 388,392, with three home games remaining against Binghamton.
Knuckleball pitcher Mickey Janis (10-6) was the beneficiary of the Binghamton output, notching his 10th win of the season. He pitched six shutout innings, allowing three hits, walking four and striking out five. Duncan, who fell to 2-4, gave up 10 runs on 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings.
