ERIE 10, BINGHAMTON 8 (13 innings): B-Mets infielder Phillip Evans went 4-for-6 to raise his average to .335 and secure the Eastern League batting title. Evans slipped past idle Portland outfielder Aneury Tavarez by .00012. Evans trailed Tavarez by five points entering the day and grounded out twice in his first three at-bats. He singled in the seventh and ripped a single past Dominic Ficociello at first base in the ninth. After Amed Rosario's game-tying two-run single in the ninth forced extra innings, Evans skipped a single into center field in the 11th. Evans was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the 13th. Promoted to Binghamton on April 22, Evans had stumbled out of the gate with a 1-for-14 stretch to open his Double-A career. From Aug. 9 to the close of the season, he hit .430 (46-for-107). The B-Mets (63-77) lost the season finale in the 13th after Tim Peterson surrendered a two-run homer to Christin Stewart. Matt Oberste grounded into a season-ending fielder's choice with the bases loaded in the bottom half. Box
