Minor Rags: - Jason Pridie, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Manuel Alvarez, Wilmer Flores... and Clone Davis

Bisons:

He had four hits, a three-run home run, a double and five runs batted in. But for Jason Pridie, his favorite hit of the day was the single he hit to lead off the first inning. It was a hit that helped the center fielder’s confidence at the plate. And while the Bisons had to come from behind late to earn their 11-7 win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees at Coca-Cola Field Tuesday afternoon, the solid start for Pridie was a key to setting the tone for a breakout offensive game. - link

B-Mets:

Kirk Nieuwenhuis spearheaded a big offensive night Tuesday for the Binghamton Mets, notching five hits, scoring four times and driving in four more runs in a 15-3 win over the Portland Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field. Nieuwenhuis finished 5-for-6 in the leadoff spot for Binghamton, which racked up 14 hits overall en route to snapping its three-game losing skid. The teams meet again at noon today before the B-Mets return home to begin a seven-game homestand on Thursday night against New Hampshire - link

Lucy:

The St. Lucie Mets scored four runs in the top of the ninth to beat the Palm Beach Cardinals 7-5 at Roger Dean Stadium Tuesday night. The Mets (5-6) posted three singles and a double, added a walk and a wild pitch to score four runs.

Gnats:

The Savannah Sand Gnats produced 18 hits en route to an 11-3 victory over the Augusta GreenJackets in a South Atlantic League baseball game Tuesday night. A crowd of 960 watched as Savannah scored four runs in both the first and seventh innings in the opener of a four-game series. Savannah's Wilmer Flores was 3-for-5, including a two-run home run, double and five runs batted in. Juan Lagares was 3-for-6, including a triple and double. Cesar Puello was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two doubles. Kai Gronauer was 4-for-6 with a double and two RBIs. - link






Clones:

In 2008, Brooklyn fans probably could never have imagined (Ike) Davis’ quick ascent through the Mets system. In fact, some even called him a bust, after struggling during his stint in the New York-Penn League with the Cyclones. He quickly turned things around in 2009, when he made the jump to High-A St. Lucie. In 59 games, Davis hit seven home runs while putting up an OPS of .862, earning a mid-season promotion to Double-A Binghamton. Davis demolished pitching in the Eastern League, batting .309, socking 13 homers and driving in 43 runs, with an OPS of .951—while drawing plenty of attention as one of the hottest prospects in second half of the 2009 season.
