PORTLAND — Luis Cessa allowed just one run over eight innings and led the Binghamton Mets (34-30) to a 3-1 victory over the Sea Dogs (25-40) on Wednesday night at Hadlock Field. The win clinches the three-game series for the Mets and extends their win streak to six games.
Cessa scattered five hits over eight innings while walking two and striking out five. Paul Sewald worked a perfect ninth to close it out for the Mets, who have won seven straight games at Hadlock Field dating back to last year’s Eastern Division Championship Series.
The Mets got off to a quick start thanks to three hits in the first inning. Brock Peterson delivered an RBI single, then Michael Conforto came around to score on a wild pitch by Heri Quevedo to make it 2-0. Quevedo lasted just three innings and allowed three earned runs on five hits while walking three and striking out three. Binghamton scored its third run in the third inning on an RBI double by Conforto to plate Mazzilli. Portland scored its lone run of the game on an RBI groundout by Carlos Asuaje.
