“It’s always nice to put together some good at-bats,” said designated hitter Buck Britton, who had a three hit night for the Baysox. “I was trying to help get something going for us tonight. It was tough only putting up two runs.”

Baysox starter Tyler Wilson pitched five and one-third innings and allowed three runs on six hits while striking out four and walking two in the loss.

Buck Britton singled to left field to move Hudson to third base where he scored on a second wild pitch to give the Baysox a 1-0 lead.

Binghamton came back to take the lead in the top of the second inning against Wilson. Cory Vaughn got the scoring started with a lead off home run to left field. Travis Taijeron followed with a single to right field and moved to third base on a Blake Forsythe double to left field. Richard Lucas brought Taijeron home with a sacrifice fly and a Wilfredo Tovar double to left field plated Forsythe to give the B-Mets a 3-1 lead.

Left fielder Garabez Rosa got a run back for the Baysox with a solo home run against Binghamton reliever Chasen Bradford in the bottom of the seventh inning to make the score 3-2.
