BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (27-41) tallied their third straight multi-home run game, and chalked up their third consecutive win, taking down the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (33-33) 10-2 at Mirabito Stadium on Saturday.

The Rumble Ponies trailed 2-1 with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning until left fielder Jaylen Palmer delivered a two-run home run.

It was Palmer’s first home run of the year after hitting 12 with Binghamton back in 2024.

Binghamton scored three runs in the frame as designated hitter Chris Suero roped an RBI single to make it 4-2.

The Rumble Ponies exploded for four more runs in the seventh inning, taking an 8-2 lead.

Palmer roped a two-run double to finish the night with four RBIs, which ties a career high that he set on May 13, 2025, with the Double-A Knoxville affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.

One batter later, third baseman Kevin Villavicencio tallied his first Double-A home run by way of a two-run blast. It was the 22-year-old’s 12th career home run.

New Hampshire got going early with Binghamton left-hander Max Green taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning.

Left fielder Hedbert Perez deposited a solo home run as the second batter of the game. It was his second homer of the series.

Binghamton scored in the second inning as shortstop Wyatt Young singled, stole two bases, and scored off a past ball from catcher Aaron Parker to tie the game 1-1.

The Fisher Cats scored in the fourth inning as third baseman Cutter Coffey delivered a sacrifice fly to give the Fisher Cats a 2-1 lead.

Green settled in, setting a career high for innings pitched at 5.2, allowing two earned runs and striking out two batters.

The 30-year-old retired eight straight with two outs in the sixth inning before surrendering a single to first baseman Dub Gleed and being taken out for right-hander Danis Correa (1-1).

Correa, in his third appearance with Binghamton, went 1.1 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and has not struck out seven over his first three outings.

In his first appearance against Binghamton, New Hampshire right-hander Austin Cates went 4.0 innings, allowing one run and walking four while striking out three.

Right-hander Aaron Munson (1-2) threw an inning scoreless before allowing three runs in the sixth inning, giving up four hits over 2.0 innings.

Right-hander Garrett Stratton followed Correa, making his second appearance in Binghamton as he struck out three batters in the eighth inning.

Then, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Binghamton got insurance as first baseman Nick Lorusso mashed a two-run shot to give Binghamton a 10-2 lead. He ties Suero for the team lead with 11 homers.
