WORCESTER 4, SYRACUSE 1 (BOX)

Worcester ran out ahead early and Syracuse was never able to make much of a dent in the deficit. Jonathan Pintaro got the start and really struggled, surrendering seven hits and four runs in just an inning and two thirds of work. The Mets trailed 4-0 for most of the game, scoring their lone run in the bottom of the nine on a Kevin Parada single, but the game was all but over by then.

BINGHAMTON 6, PORTLAND 5 / 11 (BOX)

Jack Wenninger was the recipient of a hard fought no decision in this one, going eight innings and surrendering just one earned run (and two unearned runs). He worked around more trouble than that, giving up seven hits, and only struck out two. He did walk no one, however. This was a throwback performance by Wenninger, and it is a bit of a shame he will not get the W next to his name on the Amazin’ Avenue Mets Daily Prospect Report. And I guess his stat line, but that is OBVIOUSLY less important.

Binghamton and Portland traded haymakers early on, offensively. As the game went 1-0 Binghamton after 2, 3-1 Portland after the top of the fourth, tied at three after the bottom of the fourth. That 3-3 score stayed the same until the top of the 10th, when Portland took a skinny 4-3 lead. Nick Morabito tied the game in the bottom of the frame, and we went to the 11th. Portland scored one in the 11th to make it 5-4, but sacrifice flies by Nick Lorusso and William Lugo gave the Rumble Ponies a walk off win.

Florida State League East Divisional Series, Game One

ST. LUCIE 4, DAYTONA 2 (BOX)

St. Lucie won game one of the FSL East Divisional Series over Daytona by a score of 4-2, and two Mets 2025 draftees had their fingerprints all over it. St. Lucie ran out to a 4-0 lead and ran from there, and all four runs were involving Mitch Voit and Antonio Jimenez. Jimenez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first, Voit added one with a sacrifice fly in the second, and Jimenez chase the last two home due to an error by Tyson Lewis, the Daytona shortstop. While two of the runs ended up unearned, both draftees had good performances in their first professional playoff game.

The St. Lucie pitching was excellent. Jose Chirinos got the start and did not give up a run, surrendering two hits, three walks and four strikeouts over five. Elwis Mijares surrendered one unearned run on a double play, and Tyler McLoughlin surrendered an unearned run of his own in the seventh, following a Jimenez error (this technically attributes to someone having their fingerprints on a game, in my humble opinion), but he was able to finish it out for the save.
