A healthy Bowman returned to the St. Lucie lineup on June 17,2008,and would go on to hit .340 over the next 26 games before earning a promotion to the AA Binghamton Mets.[ citation needed ] Although he began his Binghamton career with an 8-game hitting streak,he would only go on to hit .214 over his final 84 at-bats of the 2008 season.
