BOX SCORE - Reading 5, Binghamton 2
The Reading Fightin Phils took the Binghamton Rumble Ponies 5-2 on the final Saturday game of the season. Bryson Stott had a three-hit game, while Simon Muzziotti had a two-hit contest. Matt Kroon reached three times as he was hit by a pitch and walked twice.
Binghamton scored first as a walk allowed Carlos Rincon to reach, an error pushed him into scoring position, and a wild pitch brought him home.
Reading’s Muzziotti notched a two-RBI double to send home Chris Cornelius and Stott.
The R-Phils put up a three spot in the fifth to take a pronounced lead. Muzziotti singled home Kroon, while Logan O’Hoppe followed with an RBI line drive to plate Stott. Dalton Guthrie sent Muzziotti in to take a 5-1 lead.
A solo home run from Ronny Mauricio, his first in Double-A, put Binghamton closer 5-2.
David Paulino (W, 1-0) pitched a quality start allowing just three hits and two runs (one earned). Austin Ross struck out the side in the seventh. Blake Brown made his Double-A debut where he walked two batters but put up a clean frame. Zach Warren (S, 3) was called in to close the game as he sat down Binghamton in order.
