Triple-A - Las Vegas 51's (26-14)_______________________________________
NO GAME (SCHEDULE)
Double-A - Binghamton Mets (22-17)_____________________________________
HARRISBURG 10, BINGHAMTON 1 (Box)
By the time I woke up the game was already over, so was it all a dream? Gabriel Ynoa, Julian Hilario, and Dario Alvarez are all wishing it was, I bet, as the pitching trio didn't exactly impress. Everything about this game was unspectacular for Binghamton. Even their lone run, scored in the top of the 2nd, was unspectacular: Jayce Boyd crossed the plate when Aderlin Rodriguez grounded into a double play. In the bottom of the inning, Ynoa plunked pitcher Matthew Spann on a 0-2 count with two outs, bringing centerfielder Derrick Robinson to the plate with bases loaded. Robinson laced a liner down the left field line, clearing the bases and giving the Senators a 3-1 lead. Harrisburg never looked back from that point, adding on their lead time and time again. Binghamton had a more than a few opportunities to score as the game went on, but every time they mustered any kind of offense, it got nipped in the bud. The B-Mets grounded into a season-high four double plays.
The B-Mets will play their last game in Harrisburg tonight, in the rubber game of the series. After that, they will head back home to take on the Akron RubberDucks.

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (18-22)_____________________________________
ST. LUCIE 4, PALM BEACH 3 (Box)
The St. Lucie Mets just barely edged out a series victory over the Palm Beach Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium last night thanks to a Michael Conforto that came on a 0-2 count with two outs in the 9th that came off of Josh Lucas, who had yet to allow a home run this season. Akeel Morris got loose in a hurry and we had even more fireworks in the bottom of the inning. Robelys Reyes reached on a fielding error by Morris and moved up on a sacrifice bunt. Juan Herrera laced a line drive into center Reyes ran past third at full speed, attempting to score. Yeixon Ruiz threw a seed to Colton Plaia, gunning Reyes down and preserving the lead. Morris got the last batter to ground out, and that was that.
Palm Beach scored all three runs off of Logan Taylor in the bottom of the 3rd. Taylor loaded up the bases and allowed a two-run single to Bruce Caldwell and a fielder's choice to Luke Voit. St. Lucie, on the other hand, scattered their runs, plating a run in the 1st, 3rd, and 7th innings, in addition to Conforto's heroics in the 9th.

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (16-22)__________________________________
SAVANNAH 2, AUGUSTA 0 (Box)
That's two shutouts in a row for the Sand Gnats pitching staff. Two nights ago, Corey Oswalt and the bullpen shut down the GreenJackets. Last night, Brad Wieck and Jimmy Duff combined to silence Augusta, allowing only three hits and two walks in total (all of which were allowed by Wieck). Mark Reyes and Reyes Moronta, the GreenJackets pitchers, weren't bad themselves, but the Skyscrapers were better. Savannah's first run came in the 3rd, on a Jonathan Johnson sac fly and their second came in the 8th, on a Luis Guillorme single that plated Vicente Lupo.
