Double-A - Binghamton Mets (37-33)_____________________________________

HARRISBURG 4, BINGHAMTON 1 (Box)

Gavin Cecchini blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the third, and for a long while, that was the only run of the game. Senators starter Richard Bleier was rolling, and so Michael Fulmer. The B-Mets starter was at 87 pitches in the bottom of the seventh when Jared King lined a triple into the gap in right center, leading to Pedro Lopez calling him back from the batters box and inserting Brock Peterson as a pinch hitter. Matt Koch came in to pitch the eighth and promptly allowed three runs to score- the first runs allowed by the Binghamton bullpen in the last eight games. Harrisburg added an insurance run in the ninth, and that was that.

• 2B L.J. Mazzilli: 1-4, K, E (2)

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

JUPITER 6, ST. LUCIE 2 / 14 (Box)

St. Lucie took an early lead, plating runs in the first and second, but the bats were silenced for the rest of the game. And by rest of the game, I mean for the next twelve innings. The Hammerheads tied the game in the bottom of the fourth and the two teams proceeded to fail to score until the fourteenth inning, when Julian Hilario did Julian Hilario things and allowed a walk-off grand slam.

• CF Champ Stuart: 1-5, R, 3 K

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (39-31)__________________________________

NO GAME (ALL-STAR BREAK)

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (4-2)_______________________________________

BROOKLYN 2, TRI-CITY 1 / 12 (Box)

Jose Celas was his own worst enemy last night, but he somehow navigated out of trouble for the most part, allowing only a single run despite allowing three hits and six walks in four plus innings. The ValleyCats took the lead in the third but Brooklyn tied it in the sixth when Vinny Siena doubled in Tucker Tharp on a line drive into right. The score stayed tied 1-1 until the bottom of the twelfth, when Michael Katz reached first on a fielder's choice and came home to score on a Jeff Diehl triple.

• LF Tucker Tharp: 0-4, R, 2 K, HBP, SB (2)
• 2B Vinny Siena: 2-5, 2B, RBI, K
• CF Enmanuel Zabala: 1-4, BB, K
• DH Michael Katz: 0-5, R, 3 K
• 1B Jeff Diehl: 2-5, 3B, RBI, 2 K, CS (1)

• LHP Carlos Valdez: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (1-1)__________________________

JOHNSON CITY 8, KINGSPORT 5 (Box)

Kingsport jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but the JC Cardinals tied things up with a two-run fourth. They followed that up by knocking Erik Manoah out of the game and beating up Yoryi Nuez for a total of six runs. Kingsport put up a two spot in the bottom of the inning, and plated another run in the seventh, but the Cardinals' lead was simply too large to overcome.

Rickey Morton, one half of Rock ‘n' Roll Express, threw out the first pitch. I can only imagine that some of that bad juju from this loss came from that.

• CF Raphael Ramirez: 2-4, 2 R, BB, 2 K, SB (1)
• 2B Luis Carpio: 1-3, 2 R, 2B, BB, K, HBP
• 1B Dash Winningham: 1-4, 2 RBI, K
• C Patrick Mazeika: 2-5, R, 2 2B, RBI
• SS Milton Ramos: 2-4, RBI, BB, K, E (2)

• LHP Gabriel Feliz: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K, 2 HB
