Thunder Bats Silenced by Binghamton

Thunder starter Brian Keller surrendered a season-high seven runs Thursday night, and the bats were unable to rally back in a 7-1 loss to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies in front of a crowd of 6,531 at ARM & HAMMER Park.
Keller gave up a solo homer to John Mora in the second inning for the game's first run. In the third, the Thunder (41-30) right-hander allowed RBI-singles to Kevin Taylor, Josh Allen, and Tomás Nido, facing a total of eight Binghamton (35-36) batters.
The Rumble Ponies added three more runs in the third on a Jhoan Urena leadoff home run to right field, another RBI-single by Taylor, and a wild pitch by Keller with Champ Stuart on third.
Binghamton starter Nabil Crismatt pitched eight innings, limiting the Thunder to one run on five hits, with the only run coming on a solo home run by Abiatal Avelino in the sixth inning. Crismatt struck out nine batters, matching his season-high, and walked only one.
Right-handed Thunder relievers David Sosebee and Jordan Foley combined to hold the Rumble Ponies scoreless across the final five innings.
Avelino led Trenton with three hits in the game, and finished a triple shy of the cycle.
The loss denied the Thunder a series sweep, and gave the team a 2-4 record on the six-game homestand.
