Binghamton, Reading split in Baseballtown

The Reading Phillies won a thrilling game in game 1 of their doubleheader Saturday, coming from behind with 3 runs in their final at bat (7th inning) to steal a 4-3 win from the Binghamton Mets. Tim Kennelly had the game winning hit, a pinch hit, 2-out, 2-run single off the Mets' Jose De La Torre as Reading won despite getting only 5 hits.

Mike Cisco started the game for Reading, going 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits and 2 walks, before turning it over the Scott Mathieson, who threw a scoreless frame and was the beneficiary of the run. Mathieson has now thrown 22 innings for 3 teams (GCL, Clearwater and Reading) giving up just 2 earned runs, walking 9 and striking out 21 to post a 0.82 ERA in this, his comeback season from surgery.

The Mets won game 2, 4-0 as the Phillies got just 3 hits. B.J. Rosenberg threw another scoreless inning, extending his streak to 33 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run.

Mike Stutes (8-6) will go Sunday afternoon for the R-Phils.

Drew Carpenter was hit hard by Buffalo Saturday night, allowing 7 earned runs on 11 hits in 6 innings of work in the Bisons' 7-5 win over the IronPigs. Carpenter is 9-4, 3.20 for the year. Kyle Kendrick (6-6) will start for the Pigs Sunday, making his first start since July 22.

In Oklahoma City, Greg Golson had a single and a walk, scored a run and stole his 15 base as the RedHawks beat Salt Lake, 4-3.

Other starters for Sunday's action include Jason Knapp for Lake County, Brett Harker for Jupiter, and Carlos Carrasco for Columbus.
