ITHACA, N.Y. - Visiting Binghamton baseball (18-13) scored eight runs over the final four innings to rally past Cornell (6-21) 11-4 in a non-conference game Tuesday afternoon at Booth Field. The victory extended the Bearcats' win streak to eight games - longest since 2017.
Held to three hits through the first six innings, Binghamton's offense erupted in the late innings, turning a 4-3 deficit into a lopsided win. The Bearcats scored two runs in the sixth, two in the seventh, one in the eighth and three closing runs in the ninth.
Meanwhile, eight Binghamton pitchers limited the Big Red to five hits, including none over the final 4.1 innings.
