1967

After Chicago's 4-1 victory over Cincinnati at Wrigley Field, many of the 40,464 patrons stay in the ballpark awaiting the outcome of the Cards/Mets game that, thanks to a New York victory, results with the Cubs in first place by half of a game. The enthusiastic fans refuse to leave the 'Friendly Confines' until the flags above the scoreboard reflect the home team's current position at the top of the standings, a task usually done the next day.

1972

At Montreal’s Jarry Park, the Expos walk away with a 4-3 victory when Mets right-hander Bob Rauch issues his fourth free pass of the inning, forcing in Carl Morton the winning run from third base. The frustrating loss will be the 23 year-old rookie’s only decision during a brief 19-game major league career.

 

2000

At Shea Stadium, Gregory Sweeney is arrested and charged with reckless endangerment after he throws a ball which Braves reliever John Rocker had tossed into the stands back onto the field. In a few days later, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown exonerates the 26 year-old Brooklyn man when he concludes the Mets fan had no criminal intent and was doing nothing more than following a baseball tradition of returning an unsolicited and unwanted souvenir.

 Baseball Reference:

1970: At Connie Mack Stadium, the Phils break their scoreless streak of 53 innings and sweep two from the Mets, 6 - 1 and 3 - 2. With successive pinch hits by Tony Taylor, Ron Stone and Byron Browne, the Phils score six in the 8th inning to win the opener for Jim Bunning, then again come from behind to win the nitecap for Chris Short. The opener is the 6,000th game played at the ancient stadium.

2011: The Mets' Jose Reyes, leading the major leagues with a .354 batting average, injures his hamstring in the 2nd inning of today's game with the Yankees and is headed for the disabled list at a time when trade rumors are swirling around the soon-to-be free agent. The Mets also lose the game, 5 - 2, as Bartolo Colon wins in his first start since returning from a hamstring injury of his own. Curtis Granderson homers for the Yanks.

2019 - The Yankees' record streak of consecutive games with at least one home run ends at 31 in a 4 - 2 loss to the Mets that coincides with 1B Luke Voit, one of the major contributors to the streak, going on the injured list with an abdominal strain. Michael Conforto is the hero for the Mets, with a go-ahead two-run double off Zack Britton in the 8th.

César Puello’s walk-off double leads Syracuse to game two win and split of Thursday doubleheader against Rochester

 

(Photo Credit - Herm Card, Syracuse Mets)

Syracuse, NY - César Puello’s walk-off double helped the Syracuse Mets complete a four-run comeback in game two of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Rochester Red Wings as the Mets came out on top in game two with a 6-5 extra-inning win after falling in game one to the Red Wings, 4-1.  

In game two, Puello came to the plate in the bottom of the eighth with one-out and Khalil Lee at second base, delivering with a game-winning RBI double to deep right field to give the Mets their first extra-inning win of the season. 

In game one, Rochester (22-29) struck first with a pair of runs in the top of the second inning. Jake Noll led off with a single. After Brandon Snyder struck out, Tres Berrera singled. Cody Wilson then drew a walk to load the bases with one out. The pitcher, Josh Rogers, followed and delivered with a two-run single to put Rochester out in front, 2-0. 

Syracuse (14-36) got on the board in the bottom of the second thanks to three straight singles. With one out, Cameron Maybin and Martin Cervenka singled. Then Wilfredo Tovar singled to score Maybin and cut the deficit in half, 2-1. 

In the top of the fourth, Wilson led off the inning for Rochester with a triple to right field. Then, Rogers again delivered, as the pitcher drove in his third run of the game with a line-drive single to give the Red Wings a 3-1 lead.  

Rochester added another run in the fourth off Syracuse pitcher Jésus Reyes when Yadiel Hernandez homered to left field to make it 4-1 Red Wings.  

Reyes ended the evening with five innings pitched, allowing four runs on ten hits, walking two, and striking out three.  

As for Rogers, not only did he get it done at the plate, but also on the mound. The Rochester starter went five innings, allowing just one run on five hits and striking out one. The 26-year-old is now 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA in three career appearances against Syracuse.  

Dakota Bacus delivered two scoreless innings in relief to earn the save as Rochester took game one, 4-1. 

In game two, Syracuse put the first run on the board in the bottom of the second. With two outs and nobody on base, Syracuse pitcher Robert Stock reached with an infield single. Drew Jackson followed and also singled, and then Mason Williams connected with an RBI single to score Stock and make it 1-0 Mets. 

However, disaster struck in the third inning for the Syracuse. With two outs and nobody on, Hernandez hit his second homer of the night to tie the game at one. Next, Noll and Snyder both singled, putting runners at first and third base. Barrera then hit a hot shot off the shortstop Tovar that ended up down the left field line, scoring Noll as Barrera slid into second with a double to make it 2-1 Red Wings. Rafael Bautista followed and reached on a fielding error from Tovar as Snyder scored and Rochester took a 3-1 lead. Wilson then drew a walk to load the bases, and Jecksson Flores also drew a walk to score Barrera and increase the Red Wings lead to 4-1. Trey Cobb came in to relieve Stock and struck out Sterling Sharp for the final out of the inning.  

In the top of the fifth, Rochester increased its lead with a Bautista solo home run to make the score 5-1 in favor of the Red Wings.  

In the bottom of the fifth, Jonathan Villar, who played the first game of his Major League rehab assignment tonight, led off with a walk. After Cuthbert flew out, Sisco singled and advanced Villar to third base. Calixte then hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Villar and cut the deficit to three, 5-2. Next, Lee ripped a triple into the right-center-field gap to bring home Sisco and make it a two-run game, 5-3. Syracuse kept it going with Tovar, who singled to center to score Lee and cut the deficit to one, 5-4.  

The Mets tied it up in the bottom of the sixth. Jackson led off with his third hit of the game, and with Williams at the plate, Jackson stole second. Williams then came up big with a game-tying single to score Jackson and make it 5-5. 

Doubleheaders are two seven-inning games instead of nine-inning contests, so with game two tied after seven innings, the game went into extra innings in the eighth. Marcel Rentería delivered a 1-2-3 top of the eighth inning to keep the game tied at five.

In the bottom of the eighth, Lee started as the runner at second for Syracuse. After Tovar grounded out, Puello delivered with the game-winner, a drive to deep right field over Hernandez’s head as Lee came home to score, and Syracuse won, 6-5. Puello continues to produce for the Mets. The outfielder now has four RBIs in his last four games. 

The Mets will look for another win on Friday when right-hander Akeem Bostick takes the mound for Syracuse against Rochester right-hander Tyler Eppler. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. as Independence Day weekend begins at NBT Bank Stadium.

Threshers hit late homers to sweep doubleheader from St. Lucie Mets



Gaddis hits 2nd home run in series

CLEARWATER, Fla. (July 1, 2021) – The Clearwater Threshers swept a doubleheader over the St. Lucie Mets on Thursday at BayCare Ballpark. The Threshers won the first game 5-3 (box score) then won game 2, 4-2 (box score).

In both contests the Threshers hit go-ahead home runs in the bottom of the sixth and closed out the game in the top of the seventh. 

In game 1, Juan Aparicio broke a 3-3 tie with a two-out, two-run homer off Mets starter Junior Santos. 

The Mets got a pair of hits in the seventh, but Gabriel Yanez got Alex Ramirez to pop out to end the game. 

Santos (2-3) pitched all six innings for the Mets. He allowed five runs on eight hits with one walk and six strikeouts. 

Brandon McIlwain went 2 for 3 in the loss. Ramirez hit a double and Cole Kleszcz bashed RBI triple. 

Yanez (3-0) pitched 2.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts to get the win. 

In game 2, Kendal Simmons hit two-run homer against Mets starter Oscar Rojas with no outs in the sixth to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead for the Threshers. Jose Tortolero would add a RBI double later in the inning to pad the lead. 

Threshers reliever Erubiel Armenta struck out Ramirez to end the game in the seventh, stranding the tying run at second base. 

Erubiel (1-0) and Threshers starter Cristian Hernandez combined for 14 strikeouts and no walks. 

Nic Gaddis went 2 for 3 with a double and a home run in game 2. His solo homer in the third inning provided the Mets a 2-1 lead. It was his second home run in two days. 

Rojas (2-1) took the loss for the Mets. He gave up four runs on six hits in over 5.1 innings. 

Of the nine runs the Threshers scored in the doubleheader, six of the runs came on four homers. 

The Mets (27-24) and Threshers (27-24) will play a single nine-inning game on Friday. First pitch from BayCare Ballpark is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
