St. Lucie’s offense has been getting hot all at once lately, and they continued that with a 7-run, 15-hit outburst Sunday against Dunedin. After allowing a leadoff single in the 1^st, Mets starter Robert Gsellman retired 18 of the next 20, working on a 3-hitter as he entered in the 7^th, and reportedly hitting 95 MPH on the stadium gun. The bats put crooked numbers on the scoreboard in the 2^nd and 3^rd innings, jumping out to a commanding 6-0 lead. In the 2^nd, Smith, De La Cruz, Rosario, and Plaia hit consecutive singles, and then Rosario came home on a force out. In the 3^rd, the rally started with a two out single from Matt Oberste, and was aided by two walks (one with the bases loaded) and a fielding error at 3B. Plaia came through with a bases loaded two run single in both innings, continuing a strong year at the plate in his first taste of the FSL. Plaia would come up with runners on the corners and nobody out in the 5^th, but he’d ground into a double play, which did extend the lead to 7-0. The Jays finally broke through against Gsellman in the bottom of the 7^th, scoring 3 runs on 5 singles. The Jays made it a 3-run game in the 8^th on the back of two singles and a wild pitch, but Akeel Morris came out of the Mets pen for the 9^th, and he is not about to blow a 3-run lead.

Full recap

Minors MVP of the Day – Colton Plaia has been having a very nice season at the plate for St. Lucie, and his three hit, four RBI day brought him up to a .302/.342/.434 slash with 22 RBI’s, t-14^th in the FSL.

Minors Cy of the Day – Robert Gsellman tossed another strong start in the FSL, reportedly topping out at 95 MPH per the stadium gun. Can’t wait to watch him with Binghamton in the 2^nd half.
