Ponies clinch 11th straight win on Baseball and Education Day
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Binghamton Rumble Ponies continue their winning streak in front of one of the largest and youngest crowds of the year. The Ponies beat the Somerset Patriots 4 to 3 on Wednesday as they keep their now 11-game win streak alive. This winning streak is the third longest of all time for the team and the longest since 2006. In addition to the team's historic run, they were cheered on by over 5,100 young, adoring fans. The team held its Education and Baseball event, which gives elementary students the opportunity to come to the games as a field trip with their schools. The Rumble Ponies General Manager Richard Tylicki underscores the importance of having such a young crowd in attendance. 'It's critical because you're trying to grow the game. Youth sports participation is down nationwide, particularly in baseball, so by having the young people here, hopefully, you get them interested in baseball and they become either fans or players. The second part of it is a lot of these kids probably don't get a chance to come to a game, so coming as a field trip, not only enables them to come at a pretty inexpensive price but then doing it as a group is always much more fun when you do things with your friends,' said Tylicki. The Ponies have four more home games coming up this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with Friday featuring fireworks.

Mets top prospect to start rehab stint in Binghamton
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A Mets slugging infielder who has been sidelined for well over a year following ACL repairment surgery is starting a rehab assignment with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies Friday. Ronny Mauricio, a Top-10 prospect in the New York Mets system, has been rehabbing his injured knee since tearing his ACL while playing in the Dominican Winter League in 2023. Mauricio, at 24-years-old, is widely known by Mets fans for his physical stature and athleticism as a 6-foot-4-inch switch-hitting infielder with the ability to hit the ball hard and fly around the bases. Mauricio made his Mets debut in September 2023, playing in 26 games for the club in an underwhelming season. In those games, Mauricio showed off all the tools that have had fans excited for years, clubbing 6 extra-base hits, driving in 9 runs, stealing 6 bases, and flashing the leather on tough plays at second and third base. In 2022, Mauricio spent the whole season with Double-A Binghamton, hitting 26 home runs, driving in 89 runs, and stealing 20 bases in 123 games. The young infielder had spent the start of the 2025 season in Port St. Lucie in extended spring training to build up his workload and prepare for his rehab assignment. His assignment is scheduled to begin Friday, May 9, against the Fightin Phils at Mirabito Stadium. There is no timetable for how long Mauricio will spend with Binghamton.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y.

According to General Manager Richard Tylicki, it's not just a chance for fans to meet players and get the ins and outs of the organization, but it's also important to the club to be able to interact with the people after they have been away in the off-season and touch base with the fans.
