The Richmond Flying Squirrels and the Binghamton Rumble Ponies battled for 10 innings Sunday before thunderstorms rolled through The Diamond and forced the game to end as a 4-4 tie.

The tie is just the second in Flying Squirrels history. The team’s Aug. 12, 2018, game against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats was also called a tie after rain halted play at 1-1.

Richmond (18-44) rallied from three deficits against Binghamton (42-19). Binghamton struck first when Jett Williams tripled to lead off the game and scored on Nick Lorusso’s two-out single off Richmond starter John Michael Bertrand.

The Flying Squirrels evened the score in the third. Justin Wishkoski was hit by a pitch and stole second. Later, Diego Velasquez stole second and Wishkoski scored on the throw.

William Lugo’s two-run homer off reliever Tyler Myrick gave Binghamton a 3-1 lead in the sixth. Bertrand finished with two runs allowed over 5 1/3 innings, with four strikeouts and five walks.

In the seventh, Richmond tied it at 3-3 when Cal Mitchell’s sacrifice bunt led to a throwing error that scored Jairo Pomares, and Adrian Sugastey followed with a sacrifice fly.

Binghamton pulled ahead 4-3 in the eighth on Matt O’Neill’s RBI double, but the Flying Squirrels tied it again in the ninth. Mitchell doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on another wild pitch with two outs.

Braxton Roxby kept Binghamton scoreless in the ninth and 10th, striking out four. Wish-koski started the bottom of the 10th on second, advanced on a flyout, but a double play ended the threat. Heavy rain forced officials to call the game before the start of the 11th.

Richmond returns home June 24-29 to open the second half of the season against the Reading Fightin Phils.
