MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com -Leonard Davis drove in the winning run for the Harrisburg Senators in the top of the ninth to defeat the Binghamton Mets 5-4 Tuesday night at NYSEG Stadium. Caleb Stewart tied the game with a home run in the sixth and Eric Niesen took a no-decision and struck out eight in his six-inning start, tying his longest outing of the season.

The winning run came off Jose De La Torre, who worked 1.1 innings and dropped his first game of the year. Francisco Plasencia was hit by a pitch and then stole second to get the rally started. He moved to third on Michael Daniel’s grounder to the right side and then Davis provided the go-ahead single, yielding the final of 5-4.

The Senators struck for three runs, one earned, against Niesen in the second inning. Joel Guzman scored on a Bill Rhinehart fielder’s choice. Luke Montz walked and then Senators pitcher Aaron Thompson hit a groundball to short, which Ruben Tejada booted allowing two runs to score, making it 3-0.

The B-Mets were helped by three Senators errors in the second to record two runs. Jonathan Malo’s grounder that Whitney booted at first allowed Lucas Duda to score. Then Emmanuel Garcia seemed to ground into a double play; however, second baseman Jemel Spearman could not handle the throw from Freddie Bynum at short, allowing Stewart to score, cutting the lead to 3-2.

Binghamton (44-69) evened the score in the fourth when Stewart was walked by Thompson. He promptly stole his first base of the season to move into scoring position and then advanced to third on Wabick’s deep flyout to left. Malo collected his second RBI of the night with a single to centerfield, plating Stewart to tie the game.

Harrisburg (53-61) broke the tie in the fifth when Daniel doubled against Niesen and subsequently scored on Spearman’s single, putting the Senators up 4-3.

Binghamton tied the game at four in the sixth when Stewart took Thompson deep to left for his third homer of the season.

Cory VanAllen worked out of a jam in the eighth to record a scoreless frame and win his third game of the season for the Senators. Drew Storen made his AA debut and worked a perfect ninth to record the save. A no-decision went to Thompson as he worked 5.2 innings, allowing four runs, two earned, on three hits.

Binghamton takes on Harrisburg in game two of a three-game series Wednesday night. RHP Jenrry Mejia (0-3, 3.74) is scheduled to come off the disabled list to take the mound for the B-Mets and the Senators will toss RHP Erik Arnesen (6-5, 3.48).
