LAST GAME: Brad Holt finally showed up Friday night just in


time to shut down Akron in the B-Mets 2-1 victory at NYSEG

Stadium. Holt hurled a season-best, five innings of shutout

baseball and allowed just one hit, with three walks and four

strikeouts to notch his first win of the year. Aeros starter Alex

White was almost as good with a quality start of six innings in

which he allowed just two runs, one earned, on four hits. However,

he was hung with the loss. Binghamton manufactured

runs in the third and fourth innings after getting leadoff men

on base. Kirk Nieuwenhuis drove in Reese Havens with a sac

fly to right after Havens had doubled to start the third. Eric

Campbell scored the B-Mets final run in the fourth on a White

wild pitch after he had singled to open the frame. Following

Holt, Scott Shaw made his first relief appearance and hurled 2

1/3 innings scoreless. Clint Everts notched the save, stranding

the tying and go-ahead runs on base when he got the final

out.


STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Mike Antonini is due to

make his team-leading 10th start of the season tonight. The

lefty gave the B-Mets a chance to win May 24 against Richmond

but did not factor in the decision after a quality start.

Antonini worked six, strong innings, allowed two runs on seven

hits with a season-high seven strikeouts. He has not issued a

walk in his last three starts spanning 16.2 innings. For the

year, the southpaw is 3-4 with a 4.62 ERA over 50.2 innings.

Antonini went 7-5 with a 5.32 ERA over 25 appearances, 20

starts, spanning 115 innings last year with Binghamton. He

was the Mets 18th round choice in the June 2007 draft out of

Georgia College & State University.


RHP Steven Wright will make a spot start of Akron tonight,

taking the place of Scott Barnes, who is being skipped over in

the rotation. Wright has strung together five straight scoreless

appearances and is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA over 11.2 innings

with the Aeros. He was a perfect 10-0 with a 2.32 ERA in 36

appearances, five starts, spanning 81.1 innings with Akron

last year. Cleveland took him in the second round of the June

2006 draft out of the University of Hawaii.


NO SOUP FOR YOU!: B-Mets third baseman Eric Campbell has

made the best of his recent promotion to Double-A in the

absence of the injured Zach Lutz. Campbell has recorded

multi-hit games in four straight contests. Overall, he has hit in

six straight with a .440 (11-25) average and eight RBI.


SHAW DEBUTS IN THE BULLPEN: RHP Scott Shaw who has

worked exclusively as a starter during his three-year career in

the Mets organization made just his second career relief appearance

last night and impressed with 2.1 shutout innings
