Recap


            The B-Mets got another quality start from the surprise story of the Mets farm system, Seth Lugo, and a game-tying triple from the newly promoted Michael Conforto, as they salvaged a win in the finale against the Curve. Lugo started out great, retiring the first 10 Curve batters in a row before gifting Ngoepe a walk in the 4th. He’d induce a groundout to Aderlin from Josh Bell to follow, but the B-Mets couldn’t complete the 3-6-1 double play, as Cecchini’s throw was a little low, and Lugo was late to cover. Dan Gamache followed with his third blast of the year, giving the Curve a 2-1 lead. They’d extend their lead when three straight reached against Lugo in the 6th, but Seth limited the damage to just one more run. Aderlin Rodriguez had a huge day at the plate, providing the first two runs with balls he deposited over the wall, and nearly adding more RBI’s in the 8th, but he’d be robbed by a full extension leap from SS Gift Ngoepe. Vic Black came in for the bottom of the 8th looking to protect the newly earned lead, and he’d throw up a scoreless frame despite walking the leadoff man, who would end up on 3B. B-Mets closer Paul Sewald worked a perfect 9th, sandwiching a strikeout with a pair of fly outs to Eudy Pina in RF.
            The B-Mets get Monday off to rest and prepare for their 3-game home series against the rival Trenton Thunder this week – aka, the Yankees AA organization. Rainy Lara is scheduled to go in the opener on Tuesday, which will be a 6:35 PM start (as all 3 games are).


Scoring Highlights


            Aderlin Rodriguez hit his first solo blast with one out in the 2nd.


            Yeixon Ruiz and Gavin Cecchini hit back-to-back singles in the 3rd, and then Michael Conforto walked to load the bases, but Josh Rodriguez couldn’t come through with the key hit.


            Cheech led off the 6th with a single.


            Ad-Rod led off the 7th with his second blast of the game. He also had a single in the game.
Can't really find the ball, but it was clearly down the line



            Two batters after Yeixon reached on a throwing error, Conforto would triple him home with his first AA hit. Conforto would come home to score on a fielding error by Gift Ngoepe – Ngoepe had robbed Aderlin of multiple RBI’s on the previous play.
