Mike McCarthy (L, 2-2) came into the game riding an eleven-inning scoreless streak, but it ended in the top of the first on a solo home run by Josh Rodriguez (2-4, HR, 2B, 4 RBI, 2 R, BB), his third of the season. McCarthy allowed six earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out two.
Rodriguez delivered again in the top of the third with a bases clearing, three-run double. Jairo Perez (2-4, HR, 2 RBI, R) added a two-run homer in the fourth, while Aderlin Rodriguez (1-5, HR, 2 RBI, R) delivered a two-run shot in the seventh.
Sea Dogs manager Billy McMillon was ejected following Perez's home run in the top of the fourth inning. Originally called foul on a drive hit down the left field line, the umpires congregated and reversed the call, awarding the two-run home run to Perez and resulting in the argument and subsequent ejection from McMillon.
Adam Kolarek (W, 1-0) picked up his first win of the year, allowing just one hit in three scoreless innings of relief. Binghamton starter Rainy Lara allowed three earned runs on six hits in four innings, walking two and striking out two.
