Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (32-54)

GAME ONE

SYRACUSE 10, WORCESTER 8 / 7 (BOX)

The Woo Sox put up a four spot twice, in the bottom of the first and the bottom of the fourth. Suffice to say, when I stopped watching somewhere in that fourth, it looked like it was gonna be a runaway for Worcester. Imagine my surprise when I checked the game later on in the night, and lo and behold, Syracuse won! Down 8-0, they scored six runs in the top of the fifth and then plated another four in the top of the seventh to improbably take the lead. Thomas Hackimer took the mound in the seventh and threw six pitches to lock down the save, inducing two pop-ups on two pitches and striking out a batter on four.

GAME TWO

SYRACUSE 5, WORCESTER 4 / 7 (BOX)

Syracuse took advantage of the big inning yet again, plating four runs in the fifth with most of the damage being done by a Chance Sisco three-run homer. The Woo Sox scored three in the bottom of the inning, another in the bottom of the seventh, and had the tying run on second in that seventh, but Alex Sanabia reached down deep to strand that runner and end the game.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (38-48)

BINGHAMTON 4, HARTFORD 1 (BOX)

Brett Baty drove in Jake Mangum in the bottom of the first to give Binghamton the initial lead and the Ponies held it for the rest of the ballgame. They scored three more, as opposed to Hartford’s one, as Cole Gordon turned in his second consecutive no run, ten-strikeout outing. After Gordon was removed in the sixth, Allan Winans and Colin Holderman threw four innings of one-run ball, a Willie Abreu solo homer being their only collective hiccup.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (34-52)

WILMINGTON 7, BROOKLYN 4 (BOX)

For the most part, Wilmington was in control for most of the night. After trailing for the entire ballgame, the Cyclones jumped into the lead in the top of the eighth on RBI singles by Jaylen Palmer, Francisco Alvarez, and Luis Gonzalez, but Bryce Montes de Oca immediately coughed up the lead in the bottom of the inning, giving up five runs in total- though one was thanks to a Michel Otanez wild pitch. Down by three runs in the ninth, Palmer got on base and advanced to second on defensive indifference, but Ronny Mauricio struck out to end the ballgame.

Low-A: St. Lucie Mets (47-38)

DUNEDIN 2, ST. LUCIE 0 (BOX)

What was supposed to be an early afternoon game finally got started around 7ish because…Florida. Oscar Rojas pitched one hell of a game until the eighth inning, allowing one hit and walking one while striking out 11, but the single and walk he allowed to start that eighth doomed him. Drake Nightengale replaced him, and though he was able to record two outs, Dunedin was able to cash in those two runners on a Steward Berroa two-RBI single.

COMPLEX: FCL METS (16-15)

GAME ONE

FCL METS 1, FCL ASTROS 0 (BOX)

GAME TWO

FCL ASTROS 4, FCL METS 3 (BOX)
