Manchester Fisher Cats vs Binghamton Rumble Ponies — Sep 5, 2026
September 5 · 6:07 PM EDT
What to look for
Fisher Cats aim to turn it around after a rough stretch, while the Rumble Ponies have steadied themselves. Danny Thompson Jr. and the Fisher Cats bring the pitching advantage into this matchup. Rumble Ponies' offense runs through Nick Lorusso, who leads the team with 19 home runs and 55 RBIs. That kind of production concentrates their scoring threat in one corner, meaning the Fisher Cats' pitching has to manage Lorusso's approaches with precision or watch runs pile up in bunches.
- Danny Thompson Jr. carries a 2.94 ERA and 1.04 WHIP to the mound, stacking up against R.J. Gordon's 4.73 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. That edge in command and efficiency puts the Fisher Cats in position to dictate early counts and limit traffic on the bases.
- Aaron Parker anchors the Fisher Cats' power with 18 home runs, while Eddie Micheletti Jr. leads the team with 45 RBIs. Turning that lineup to their advantage depends on getting early looks against Gordon, who has shown he can get beat in the strike zone.
