Syracuse absolutely exploded for 11 runs against Lehigh Valley, crushing them 11-1, and it felt like almost every single dude on the roster got in on the action. Talk about an offensive party! These guys were scoring early and often, putting up two in the first inning, and then piling it on in the third, fourth, fifth, eighth, and ninth.
The Offense Was Absolutely Pumping
Seriously, it was a clinic. Only Nick Morabito, the leadoff guy, and Zack Short, batting ninth, didn’t snag a hit. Mark Vientos, who’s rehabbing, wasn’t just there to stretch, he drove in two runs, including a solo home run that came off the bat at a scorching 109 mph. Émilien Pitre had a monster day with two extra base hits. But the real power show came from Billy Amick, who mashed two dingers himself, racking up three RBI. And don’t sleep on Shawn Ross, who added a solo shot of his own and drove in three. Ronny Mauricio and MJ Melendez each got a double and an RBI, while Jose Ramos chipped in with two hits. What a lineup!
An Immaculate Inning From the Bullpen?!
As if the offense wasn’t enough, the pitching staff went full bullpen game mode and delivered big time. The quintet of Kevin Herget, Tobias Myers, Joe Jacques, Chris Devenski, and Dylan Ross combined to give up just seven hits and a single run, striking out 12 batters. Tobias Myers was the absolute highlight, tossing an immaculate inning and picking up his second win of the season! Joe Jacques followed that up with 1.2 innings of no-hit ball, striking out three. That’s the kind of combo pitching performance that makes you stand up and cheer.
A Mixed Bag Across the System
While Syracuse was blowing the doors off, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies took a tough 6-2 loss to Reading. They were the lone loser across the Mets minor league system. Eli Serrano III did hit a home run to tie it up early, but two home runs for Reading in the fourth inning put up a four-spot that Binghamton just couldn’t climb out of. Over in High-A, the Brooklyn Cyclones pulled off a wild one, winning 11-10 against Hudson Valley. It started rough, trailing 4-0 after three, but a John Spikerman sacrifice fly, a passed ball, and even a balk helped them chip away and eventually take it in a truly “goofy” game. Trey Snyder sealed the deal with a sacrifice fly late.
What a day for the Mets farm system, showing off serious power, dominant pitching, and some wild, back-and-forth moments. You gotta love seeing these prospects lighting it up and putting on a show.
