On Tuesday night in Erie, Pennsylvania, the Double-A Erie SeaWolves mauled the Binghamton Rumble Ponies 10-0 to sweep the Eastern League championship series.
The New York Mets affiliate boasts a pretty good team with some quality hitting prospects like Drew Gilbert and Luisangel Acuña, younger brother of perhaps the game’s most dangerous player at the moment. It mattered not at all as the SeaWolves put together a complete performance in all aspects while Rumble Ponies pitching melted down and the bats went cold.
Left-hander Brant Hurter got the start, and he ran his scoreless innings streak to 32 frames without a run allowed, spinning a seven inning gem for the SeaWolves.
