Double-A - Binghamton Mets (37-32)_____________________________________

BINGHAMTON 6, NEW HAMPSHIRE 5 (Box)

It was a sloppy win, but it all counts the same on the left side of the W/L column, so it's all good. Neither Luis Cessa nor Harrisburg starter Matthew Spann were particularly good last night, both of them giving up five runs in five innings. The difference in this game was bullpens. Sammy Solis, who allowed an inherited run to give Spann five earned runs on the night, allowed a run of his own in the sixth, giving the B-Mets a one run lead. Akeel Morris, Adam Kolarek, and Paul Sewald held on to that narrow lead, and Binghamton put their second win in a row in the books.

• SS Gavin Cecchini: 1-2, R, RBI, BB
• 2B L.J. Mazzilli: 2-4, R
• LF Michael Conforto: 0-3, RBI, BB
• 1B Brock Peterson: 2-4, R, HR (3), 3 RBI, K

• C Xorge Carrillo: 0-3, BB; Allowed two stolen bases
• RF Eudy Pina: 1-4, R
• PH Aderlin Rodriguez: 1-1, R, 2B, RBI; Call me a sentimentalist, but I like it when Aderlin succeeds more than almost any other B-Met
• RHP Luis Cessa: 5 IP, 11 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 2 WP,
• RHP Beck Wheeler: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 K

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (35-34)_____________________________________

ST. LUCIE 9, JUPITER 0(Box)

Pummeling your opponents is the best way to get back into the swing of things. John Gant was solid over seven innings and the offense was clicking on all cylinders. Every position player got on base at least once. Six of the nine recorded multiple hits on the night.

• 2B Yeixon Ruiz: 1-5, R, K
• 3B Jeff McNeil: 2-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, SB (11)
• DH Matt Oberste: 0-4, K, BB
• 1B Dominic Smith: 2-5, 2B, 3 RBI, K; Back to his old tricks again
• LF Stefan Sabol: 2-5, R
• RF Victor Cruzado: 2-5, R, 2 K
• SS Amed Rosario: 1-5, 2 K
• C Jeff Glenn: 2-4, 3 R, 2B, RBI, BB; Allowed a stolen base in as many attempts
• CF Champ Stuart: 2-4, 3B, 3 RBI

• LHP John Mincone: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K
• LHP Josh Smoker:  1 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 K

• PH-DH Tomas Nido: 1-1, PO, CS
• RHP Casey Meisner: DNP
• LHP David Roseboom: 1 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 0 K; In related news, Roseboom has been promoted to the St. Lucie Mets

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (3-1)_______________________________________

TRI-CITY 11, BROOKLYN 4 (Box)

The Cyclones pitching staff- a strength in years past- isn't exactly something to write home about this season. Case in point, their 11-4 shellacking last night. Michael Bernal hit his second home run of the season, and Vinny Siena had a multi-hit game, but it was otherwise a night to forget for the Cyclones.

• LF Tucker Tharp: 1-5, R, 2 K
• 2B Vinny Siena: 2-3, R, BB, E (2)
• DH Michael Katz: 0-3, RBI
• RF Michael Bernal: 1-4, R, HR (2), 2 RBI, 2 K
• 1B Zach Mathieu: 1-3, R, BB, K
• CF Enmanuel Zabala: 1-4, K
• C Jose Garcia: 0-4, K
• 3B Pedro Perez: 2-4, RBI
• SS Alfredo Reyes: 0-4, K
• LHP Kevin Canelon: 2.1 IP, 6 H, 6 R (5 ER), 3 BB, 1 K, E (1)
• RHP Gaither Bumgardner: 3.2 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 2 HR
• RHP Nicco Blank: 1 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 1 K
• RHP Ruben Reyes: 2 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, WP

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (1-0)__________________________

KINGSPORT 4, JOHNSON CITY 3 / 10 (Box)

What a way to start the season! After giving up the lead in the seventh inning, the Kingsport Mets won in walk-off fashion in the tenth inning for their first win of 2015. The run itself wasn't particularly exciting- Dionis Rodriguez doubled, was bunted over by Santo Marte, and was driven in on a Raphael Ramirez sac fly- but who cares? It was the first time since 2010 that Kingsport won on opening day.

• CF Raphael Ramirez: 1-4, R, 2B, RBI, 2 K
• 2B Luis Carpio: 1-4, R, K
• 1B Dash Winningham: 1-3, 2B, 2 RBI, K
• DH Patrick Mazeika: 0-4
• SS Milton Ramos: 1-4, R, 2B, K
• RF Hengelbert Rojas: 1-3, BB, K
• LF Arnaldo Berrios: 2-4, RBI, 2 CS (2)
• C Dionis Rodriguez: 1-4, R, 2B; Allowed two stolen bases
• 3B Santo Marte: 0-2, BB, SB (1)
• RHP Harol Gonzalez: 6.2 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K; Going forward, are we gonna go with Harold & Kumar jokes or Fallout jokes?
• RHP Nabil Crismatt: 3.1 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 5 K

Rookie - GCL Mets (0-2)__________________________

GCL MARLINS 2, GCL METS (Box)

• CF Ricardo Cespedes: 1-4, R, HBP
• 2B Dale Burdick: 1-3, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, K, HBP
• DH Brandon Brosher: 0-4, BB, K
• 1B Victor Moscote: 3-5, R, RBI
• PR William Barring: 0-0
• 1B Jose Maria: 0-0
• LF Luis Crisostomo: 1-4, BB
• C Lednier Ricardo: 0-4, BB, K; Hasn't played ball in a professional league in a few years now, but I would imagine he'll get the bump to AA or AAA within a few weeks, once he gets his legs under him.
• RF Kenneth Bautista: 0-4, R, RBI, HBP
• SS Yeffry De Aza: 1-5, 2 K, SB (1)
• 3B Walter Rasquin: 0-1, 2 R, 2 BB, K, HBP
