No-Hitter! Jobe Starts Combined Effort Over Ponies

Four SeaWolves (50-37) pitchers combined to no-hit Binghamton (47-39) in a 3-0 win on Saturday.

Jackson Jobe threw the first six innings. He allowed two walks and struck out five without allowing a hit. Jake Higginbotham and Matt Seelinger each threw perfect innings of relief. Garrett Hill walked a batter in the ninth but locked down the combined no-hitter.

Erie scored an unearned run in the first inning against Binghamton starter Nolan McLean. Gage Workman had a two-out single, stole second base, and scored on Jaylen Palmer’s throwing error on a ball hit by Jake Holton.

In the third, McLean walked three batters to load the bases. Holton drove a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0.

Eliezer Alfonzo, who caught the combined no-hit effort, blasted a solo home run in the top of the ninth to make it 3-0

Jobe (2-1) earned the win. McLean (0-6) took the loss. Hill secured his first save.

It was Erie’s first no-hitter since Casey Mize no-hit Altoona on April 29, 2019. Alex Faedo and Drew Carlton combined to throw a no-hitter five days prior on April 24. It was the first time Binghamton was no-hit since April 25, 2019 when Portland shut them down.

The series between Binghamton and Erie concludes on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. as Carlos Peña faces Brandon Sproat.
