The Reading Fightin Phils topped the Binghamton Rumble Ponies 2-1 on Tuesday night in the final series of 2021. Simon Muzziotti had a two-hit night in his Double-A debut including the winning hit. Bryson Stott also recorded two hits in the game. Francisco Morales was dominant, while Brian Marconi recorded his league-leading 14th save of the season.
Reading scored early in the third to start things off. Luke Miller walked and Grenny Cumana was hit by a pitch. With his second hit of the day, Muzziotti drove them both home with a double to left center.
That score remained until the bottom of the seventh, when Binghamton cut Reading’s lead in half. Yoel Romero notched an RBI single to make it 2-1.
