R-Phils fall, 2-1, in 12 innings to Mets

Lou Marson scores Reading's only run despite a solid block by Mets catcher Salmon Manriquez.

Reading, PA --  A night after scoring 11 runs, the Reading Phillies offense had the chance to duplicate, and maybe exceed, that output. The R-Phils had more chances than a game of Monopoly. The Binghamton pitching staff continued to find a way to "pass go" and not land at their hotel with a loss. 

Caleb Stewart led off the top of the 12th inning with a line homer to left off Jason Kershner (1-1) to give the B-Mets a 2-1 win at FirstEnergy Stadium Tuesday night.

The Phillies (15-16) wasted a fine effort from starter Andrew Carpenter who allowed just five hits and one run in seven innings.

Binghamton (12-20) took a 1-0 lead in the sixth on a two-out homer by Nick Evans, his sixth. The Phillies quickly tied the game in the bottom of the sixth when Lou Marson walked and scored on a double by Neil Sellers.

The Phillies had a runner on third and less than two outs five times in the game and could not score. Reading was 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position and stranded a season-high 16 runners. The Mets walked ten batters in the game, three of them intentional.

Former R-Phil Eude Brito (1-1) retired all four batters he faced to get the win.

Sellers was 3-for-5 for the Phillies and Jason Donald was 2-for-3 with three walks. Marson extended his hitting streak to seven games and his on-base streak to 20 games.
