The 51s led early, but the bullpen imploded late and Reno rallied to win 7-4.

BINGHAMTON 2, PORTLAND 1 (Box)

L.J Mazzilli homered and Phillip Evans drove in the winning run in a close win over Portland. Both Binghamton runs scored in the fifth, rallying the B-Mets from one run down to take a lead they wouldn't relinquish.

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (35-32 / 17-13)_____________________________________

LAKELAND 9, ST. LUCIE 3 (Box)

Casey Delgado had a meltdown in the fifth, allowing seven runs and putting the game far out of reach for St. Lucie.

Luis Guillorme went 1-for-3 with a walk.

LEXINGTON 12, COLUMBIA 11 (Box)

Lexington and Columbia combined for 12 runs over the final two innings, but Columbia came up on the short end, losing 12-11. Leading 7-4 going into the bottom of the eighth, Firefly relievers Seth Davis and Tyler Bashlor combined to allow seven runs, putting Columbia down four. The Fireflies then rallied for four runs in the top of the ninth, only to have Craig Missigman surrender the walk-off hit to Lexington in the bottom half of the frame. J.C. Rodriguez, Eudor Garcia, and Dash Winningham all homered in the loss.

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (17-19)_______________________________________

BROOKLYN 3, STATEN ISLAND 0 (Box)

Newly promoted Thomas Szapucki impressed in his Brooklyn debut, striking out eight in 5.1 scoreless innings and getting the win in a 3-0 victory. Several Amazin' Avenue writers in attendance came away impressed with Szapucki, with some suggesting that he had a higher ceiling than first-round pick Justin Dunn. Michael Paez stole his first two professional bases in the win, and Blake Tiberi and Jay Jabs stole a base each. Desmond Lindsay went 1-for-4 with an RBI.

• CF Gene Cone: 0-3, RBI, BB, K

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (12-18)__________________________

PULASKI 7, KINGSPORT 6 (Box)

Kingsport rallied to tie the game in the top of the ninth, but another bullpen arm let the game slip away as Jose Medina gave up the winning run in the bottom half of the frame. Jordan Humphreys got shelled for five runs in 3.2 innings, but Joe Napolitano and Gregorix Estevez were able to stop the bleeding and let Kingsport get back in the game. Raphael Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBIs.

Rookie - GCL Mets (11-13)__________________________

GCL NATIONALS 2, GCL METS 1 (Box)

The GCL Mets' offense was painfully quiet as they fell to the GCL Nationals 2-1. Wagner Lagrange, Carlos Sanchez, and Kevin Hall had the only hits for the GCL Mets, and Ranfy Odon went 0-for-4 with a platinum sombrero. Marbin Montijo was solid for four innings, but Ronald Sanchez surrendered both Nationals' runs in the middle innings to sink the GCL Mets.
