Mets Minor League Report – May 16

Savannah (22-16) smacks Augusta (23-16) 6-0.

The Sand Gnats broke a scoreless tie with 6 runs in the top of the 11^th.

Another absolute gem from Sand Gnat’s starter Rainy Lara (no decision) going 8 scoreless, 2 hit innings, allowing 1 walk with 9 strikeouts. The Mets may be looking forward to many, many Rainy days in Queens in the not too distant future.

Reliever  Bret Mitchell (W, 1-1) pitched 2 scoreless innings: H, BB, 3 K. Beck Wheeler allowed a hit and a walk, with 2 strikeouts, pitching a scoreless bottom of the 11^th in the non-save situation.

Pinch hitter  Maikis De La Cruz delivered the go ahead hit, a 2 run single in the top of the 11^th.

Jayce Boyd: 2-4, BB, R

Brevard County (21-18) again edges St Lucie (23-15) 3-2.

St. Lucie starter  Noah Syndergaard certainly pitched well enough to win, but took a no decision. 6.2 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 10 K.

After reliever  Hamilton Bennett pitched 1.0 scoreless innings, allowing a hit and a walk, getting all 3 outs via the strikeout, Randy Fontanez (L, 3-2) came in to close out the 8^th inning. Fontanez, however, gave up a leadoff single to start the 9^th. He was relieved by  T.J. Chism who promptly gave up a run scoring double to end the game.

Rylan Sandoval: 2-4, 2B,  2RBI.

Binghamton (22-18) not scheduled.

Omaha (20-18) shaves Las Vegas (18-20) 5-4.

 51’s starter D.J. Mitchell (L, 1-1) was rocked for 4 ER on 10 hits in his 5.0 innings of work.

Reliever Gonzalez Germen pitched 2 perfect innings. He was followed by Josh Edgin who came in to pitch the 9^th and gave up a run on one hit, a double.

Josh Satin: 2-4, 2B, BB, R.

Andrew Brown: 2-4, 3B, BB, 2R.

Eric Campbell: 3-3, 2 RBI.
