Eastern League Subway Series Begins Tonight At NYSEG Stadium

The Binghamton Mets have the best record in the Eastern League at 33-24.  That's good enough for a two-game lead over the Portland Sea Dogs and the Trenton Thunder in the Eastern Division of the Eastern League.

Erik Goeddell (4-2)  is scheduled to start on the mound for Binghamton.  He'll be opposed by Zach Nuding (2-6)  for the Thunder. The B-Mets are 10-4 in their last 14 games.

The B-Mets are led in hitting by Josh Rodriguez at .309 and Cesar Puello with a .302 average.  Puello also leads the club in home runs with eight.  On the mound Binghamton has two of the league's best.  Logan Verrett is 6-2 with an ERA at 3.86.  Rafael Montero is 6-3 with a 2.72 ERA.
