SEVEN-RUN FIFTH DOOMS BULLDOGS IN GAME ONE ON SATURDAY

VESTAL, N.Y. – The Bryant baseball team jumped out to a 6-1 lead but a seven-run fifth inning lifted Binghamton to a 13-9 victory in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader at Bearcats Baseball Stadium.
 
With the loss, the Bulldogs fall to 19-17 overall and 7-7 in the America East. The Bulldogs are 1-5 in America East road games and have lost both road series. Bryant and Binghamton wrap up the series with game three this afternoon.
 
In game one, Bryant hit three home runs in the first two innings to take a 6-1 lead. Binghamton, however, chipped away and eventually broke through, scoring seven times in the bottom of the fifth. Zach Anderson tied the game with a two-run single, Braylen Gonzalez drew a bases-loaded two-out walk to give the Bearcats the lead and Sean Sweeney provided the big blow with a grand slam.
