Double-A - Binghamton Mets (46-42)_____________________________________

BINGHAMTON 3, PORTLAND 0 (Box)

Binghamton won their forth straight game, shutting out the Sea Dogs and taking the four game series. Seth Lugo blanked Portland for five innings, and four relievers contributed to the shutout after him. Aderlin Rodriguez put the B-Mets on the board with his tenth home run of the season, blasting the first pitch he saw off the video board in left-center. One inning later, Josh Rodriguez drove in a runner on a bloop single, and L.J. Mazzilli scored on a wild pitch, giving Binghamton a 3-0 lead. Beck Wheeler, Dario Alvarez, Akeel Morris and Jon Velasquez took over for Lugo and each pitched a scoreless inning, Velasquez notching his eleventh save. With the win, Binghamton has now won thirteen games against Portland, a franchise record.

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (45-43 /10-8)_____________________________________

ST. LUCIE 4, LAKELAND 0 (Box)

St. Lucie erupted for a four run inning in the second and that would be all they needed, as the pitching staff combined to shut out the Flying Tigers for their fifth straight win. Kevin Ziomek had a 1-2-3 first, but ran into issues against the meat of the St. Lucie order in the second. With one run already in and the bases loaded, Phil Evans laced a flyball into center to clear the ducks from the pond. Ziomek recovered, and limited St. Lucie for the rest of his time on the mound, but the damage was already done. Logan Taylor was in the zone, striking out a season-high eight, and Jeff Walters and Robert Coles combined to finish the shutout, the team's second in as many days.

• CF Champ Stuart: 0-4
• RF Victor Cruzado: 0-4
• DH Matt Oberste: 0-4

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (45-42 / 6-11)__________________________________

POSTPONED (RAIN)

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (15-7)_______________________________________

ABERDEEN 9, BROOKLYN 3 (Box)

Tyler Badamo and Nicco Blank didn't pitch particularly well, but the Cyclones defense behind them didn't help things, committing five errors in their 9-3 loss to the IronBirds. The Cyclones actually scored first, plating two runs in the bottom of the first, but things went downhill for them quickly.

• CF Enmanuel Zabala: 1-4, 2B, RBI
• PH Manuel Hilario: 0-1
• 2B Vincent Siena: 1-3, R, BB, SB (5), E (4)
• RF Michael Bernal: 1-3, R, 2B, BB

• C Brandon Brosher: 1-3, 2B, RBI, BB, PB (2)
• DH Jeff Diehl: 0-4
• LF Oswald Caraballo: 0-4
• 1B Pedro Perez: 2-4, R, E (3)
• SS Alfredo Reyes: 1-3, E (7); Reyes is already in the doghouse and this probably isn't going to help
• PH Branden Kaupe: 0-1
• RHP Tyler Badamo: 4.2 IP, 8 H, 7 R (6 ER), 3 BB, 6 K
• RHP Nicco Blank: 3.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R (1 ER), 2 BB, 2 K, WP, HB
• RHP Ruben Reyes: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (11-9)__________________________

KINGSPORT 7, BRISTOL 1 (Box)

The Bristol Pirates put base runners on the base paths all night and Kingsport made them pay as a result, bringing home seven to win their eleventh game of the season. They did the most damage in the third, when Kingsport plated three runs. With the game tied 1-1, Gage Hinsz hit Luis Carpio and walked Dash Winningham, ending his evening on the mound. Patrick Mazeika continued his assault on Appy pitching, scorching a ball down the right field line for a double, bringing both runners home. Two batters later, Kevin Kaczmarski grounded out, bringing Mazeika home. Kingsport would go on to score three more runs off of Marek Minarik in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings.

• LF Raphael Ramirez: 1-5
