Box Score ORONO, Maine – Binghamton baseball (17-22, 7-11 America East) exploded for 21 runs on 19 hits and captured the final game of the weekend series with a 21-4 drubbing of Maine (10-29, 6-8 AE) Sunday afternoon at Mahaney Diamond.

The Bearcats scored five runs in the first and then sent 14 to the plate in the second and scored 10 runs on nine hits. Binghamton kept up the onslaught with two runs in each of the next three innings before going scoreless over the final four frames.

Offensively, eight different players collected RBIs and BU totaled eight extra-base hits.

Junior third baseman Devan Bade went 4-for-4 with a double, solo home run (2^nd of season) and four RBI.
