BUFFALO 9, SYRACUSE 1 (BOX)
Nothing much going right in this one. Every pitcher gave up at least one run, save Dom Hamel. Gilberto Celestino and Luke Ritter had the only hits. Drew Gilbert went hitless and struck out twice. Moving on.

BINGHAMTON 7, SOMERSET 4 (BOX)
Most other times, we’d make a big deal out of Kevin Parada homering in this one, but I’d rather focus on Zach Thornton. Jack Wenninger got the early hype, but Thornton is likely the better, bigger success story. He’s got a funky left-handed delivery that makes his stuff play up, and he leveraged that en route to eight strikeouts in 6.2 IP, allowing only a single run. Nick Morabito and Jett Williams each had a pair of hits and a walk at the top of the lineup, while Ryan Clifford walked twice.

BROOKLYN 1, WILMINGTON 0 (BOX)
Speaking of pitchers whose stock is up, here’s Nate Dohm. The Mets’ 3rd round pick has leapfrogged Jonathan Santucci in the pecking order with an excellent debut season, and his five scoreless innings lowered his ERA on the season to 2.51. He feels like a guy who probably ends the season in Binghamton, further bolstering the Mets already strong upper minors pitching depth. On offense, the resurgent Jesus Baez had the lone RBI for the Cyclones on what was an otherwise quiet day from an excellent lineup.

GAME 2: ST. LUCIE 4, DUNEDIN 1 / 7 (BOX)
Game 2 seemed to be going the same way as the first half of the doubleheader; the offense was asleep, and a single run given up by Cristofer Gomez had the Mets trailing. Then in the bottom of the seventh, three walks set the table, a table which Trey Snyder promptly flipped with a walkoff grand slam.
