With the bases loaded and one out in the ninth, Gronauer was able to beat out a potential double play opportunity as Alonzo Harris came in to score the winning run. Shortstop Benji Gonzalez bobbled the ball initially, and the relay throw after the force out was late to first.
The Mets trailed 5-4 in the eighth, before Joe Bonfe scored on a fielding error by third baseman Kirk Singer to tie the score.
Aderlin Rodriguez hit his first home run of the season with St. Lucie and finished 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBIs. Richard Lucas had two hits and scored two runs, Harris went 3-for-5 with a run scored, and T.J. Harris had two hits to pace the Mets offense.
Kyle Allen pitched effectively, allowing one earned run and three hits in five innings while issuing one walk and striking out four. Chase Huchingson tossed two scoreless innings in relief and struck out two. Taylor Whitenton allowed two runs and walked three in an inning of work. Jack Leathersich picked up his first victory as he struck out the side in the ninth.
The Mets will host the Lakeland Flying Tigers on Thursday at Digital Domain Park at 6:30 p.m. Erik Goeddel is the scheduled starter for the Mets.
