Binghamton’s offense put up 17 runs in Sunday’s win over the Fightin Phils.
The Mets' dynamic prospect duo of Ryan Clifford and Carson Benge were right in the middle of things.
They got the scoring started early, going back-to-back in the top of the first.
Benge would strike two more times over the next two innings, lifting another solo shot in the second and then lining an RBI single in the third.
He was walked on four pitches in the fourth and then lined another single, but was finally retired in his final at-bats of the day — finishing 4-for-6 with three RBI and four runs scored.
The former first-round pick is now hitting .350 with four doubles, five home runs, 15 RBI, and a 1.046 OPS in 21 games since being promoted to Double-A.
Clifford finished a triple shy of the cycle and was retired just once — going 3-for-4 with a solo shot, single, double, three walks, and five runs scored.
He’s up to a minor league leading 21 homers on the season, with eight of them coming in July.
Jett Williams also enjoyed a big day, reaching base four times with two walks and two hits.
Binghamton improved to an incredible 64-30 on the season.
