By Andy Nichols

Not even the rains could dampen the hit parade put on by the Erie SeaWolves and the Bowie Baysox. The two teams combined for 21 runs on 28 hits in a comeback victory for Erie, 11-10 in 10 innings.

In the top half of the 1st, after Bowie third baseman Zelous Wheeler was hit by a pitch, designated hitter Brandon Waring drove a Jared Wesson fastball into the batter's eye in dead center for a two-run homer, putting Bowie on top early. The Baysox would tack on another run in the top half of the second after catcher Allen de San Miguel grounded into a double play, scoring first baseman Tyler Townsend from third.

Erie would answer with five runs of their own, on six hits, in the bottom of the second. After back-to-back hits by Jordan Lennerton and Bryan Pounds, catcher Rob Brantley lined a single down the right field line, driving in both Lennerton and Pounds. Back-to-back singles by Brent Wyatt and Jamie Johnson loaded the bases for the SeaWolves. After Brantley scored on a passed ball by de San Miguel, Brandon Douglas grounded out to second, scoring Wyatt. The next batter, Tony Plagman, singled to right, scoring Johnson.

Bowie would not allow Erie to hold the lead long. After two quick outs to start the top of the 4th, Wesson walked two straight, before giving up a three-run homer to centerfielder Antoan Richardson, putting Bowie back on top 6-5.

Wheeler Gives 'Wolves Fits on Sunday
By Andy Nichols
04/29/2012 5:33 PM ET

Recap Box

Binghamton starter Zack Wheeler showed why he's the top prospect in the New York Mets system on Sunday at Jerry Uht Park.

Wheeler was able to keep Erie hitters off balance all day, with his mid-90s fastball and knee-buckling off speed pitches, en route to a 7-1 Binghamton victory.

During his 5 2/3 innings, Wheeler held the SeaWolves to 1 run on just 1 hit and 3 walks, while striking out 6.

In the first inning, Binghamton hitters gave Wheeler all the support he would end up needing, scoring 2 runs off of Erie starter Mark Sorensen. Those 2 runs came off of the bat of second baseman Reese Havens, who drilled a Sorensen offering over the fence, and over Holland Street, for a 2-run homer. After 32 pitches, Sorensen would escape the first inning without further damage, thanks to a web gem of a double play turned in by shortstop Nuiman Romero and Brandon Douglas.

Binghamton would strike for another 2 runs off of Sorensen in the second inning. Centerfielder Matt Den Dekker tripled down the right field line, scoring Pedro Zapata. The next batter, Josh Rodriguez walked, and then was caught in a rundown trying to steal second, which allowed Den Dekker to score from third. Sorensen's day would be done after just 2 innings of work.

Zapata led off the fourth inning with a triple to the gap in left center off of Erie reliever Patrick Cooper. Den Dekker followed with a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Zapata and giving Binghamton a 5-0 lead.

Binghamton added their final 2 runs in the fifth inning. Designated hitter Eric Campbell led off with a single, then advanced to third on two wild pitches by Cooper. A Travis Ozga single scored Campbell, and a Zapata ground out scored catcher Juan Centento, who walked earlier in the inning.

Erie's lone run came in the bottom half of the sixth inning. After Douglas doubled down the left field line off of Wheeler, Jordan Lennerton would add a double of his own off the top of the wall in left center, scoring Douglas. Lennerton's RBI double, his 4th double on the year, came off of Binghamton reliever Jeff Kaplan, giving him 14 RBIs on the season.
