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.

First look inside Mercy House's expansion project
ENDICOTT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – We have an exclusive first look inside the over $2 million expansion project at Mercy House in Endicott. The Mercy House of the Southern Tier is just a few weeks away from completing its $2.1 million addition, adding six new resident rooms, private bathrooms, and space for laundry and staff. Crews broke ground in October, and plan to officially open sometime next month or early June. The new wing is being built where the parking lot used to be. The executive director, Linda Cerra says, the founder of Mercy House, Father Clarence Rumble, has dreamed of expanding since opening nine years ago. 'We're standing here in room eleven. We're adding six new rooms. Each room will have its own bathroom and we're super excited, it's becoming a reality. Again, for Father Clarence. Adding onto his vision from nine, ten years ago now,' said Cerra. Cerra says the project is 75% fully funded, but you can still donate through the website, She says two of the organization's biggest fundraisers are coming up, and both of them are sold out.
