In the bottom of the 10th inning, Cam Robinson (2-1) came out for his second inning of work. Robinson allowed the automatic runner to score on an RBI single from Spencer Jones that cut Binghamton’s lead to 6-4. Robinson struck out Tyler Hardman, who represented the potential-winning run, to end the game and earn the win.
Binghamton got out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Ramírez led off with a single and Ryan Clifford later hit a one-out single. After a double steal, Jeremiah Jackson hit a two-run single that made it 2-0. Later in the frame, Mateo Gil hit an RBI single that scored Jackson and made it 3-0.
Somerset chipped away to tie the game. Jones hit a leadoff solo home run in the first inning that cut the deficit to 3-1. Jesus Rodriguez hit a solo shot in the fourth that made it 3-2. Alexander Vargas hit a game-tying RBI triple with two outs in the seventh inning that made it 3-3.
Luis Moreno started the game for Binghamton and struck out six batters over 6.2 innings, while allowing three runs. Moreno came up one out shy of tying his career high of seven innings.
Daniel Juarez, Joshua Cornielly, and Robinson did not allow an earned run in 3.1 frames in relief.
