Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (26-21)

SYRACUSE 12, BUFFALO 8 (BOX)

Syracuse and Buffalo went back and forth in this one. They were tied after one, and Syracuse trailed 3-2 in the third, and 4-2 after five, before the Mets broke out in a big way. Singles by Jackson Cluff and Christian Arroyo tied the game after four, and a four run sixth — headlined by a Ryan Clifford bases clearing double — made it 9-4 Mets. Buffalo made it a game again with two runs in the top of the eighth, but a three run bottom of the frame for the Mets put the game away.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (15-27)

BINGHAMTON 9, RICHMOND 2 (BOX)

Blowout is the key word of the day in Mets minor league land, but this one was more of a blowout in theory than execution. Binghamton and Richmond held each other scoreless through the first five innings, with Binghamton finally breaking through in the sixth, plating two runs on an Eli Serrano double. Richmind would tie the game in the bottom of the eighth, sending the game into the ninth tied at two.

The top of the ninth was an outrageous inning, as Binghamton plated seven runs to turn this into a laugher. The scoring started with a misplay in center field that saw two runs come home, making it 4-2. Vincent Perozo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to make it 5-2, and three walks with the bases loaded made it 8-2. A sac fly would put the exclamation point on a bizarre inning, and a Binghamton win.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (11-31)

GAME ONE: HUDSON VALLEY 7, BROOKLYN 3 / 7 (BOX)

A three run first and a four run fourth made it a 7-0 deficit for the Cyclones, which they simply did not recover from. They scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth, and one in the fifth, but the game was over virtually before it started.

CF Yonatan Henriquez: 0-4, 3 K
RF John Bay: 1-3, R, 2B, 2 K

RHP Bryce Jenkins: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

GAME TWO: HUDSON VALLEY 7, BROOKLYN 0 / 7 (BOX)

Game two somehow went worse than game one for Brooklyn. They gave up the same seven runs, though this time it was two in the first and five in the fifth, but they mustered just two hits and one walk. It was simply a bad day at the ballpark in a bad season for the Brooklyn Cyclones, who move to an 11-31 record after the double header sweep.

2B Yonatan Henriquez: 1-3, 2 K, 2 E (1, 2)
SS Mitch Voit: 0-3
C Ronald Hernandez: 0-2, BB, K

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (17-25)

PALM BEACH 18, ST. LUCIE 6 (BOX)

Well.

St. Lucie actually led in this game, 2-0 after one, by way of a pair of doubles by Randy Guzman and Yohairo Cuevas, and 3-2 after three, on a triple by Cuevas. It would fall apart from there.

An eight run fifth followed by a five run seventh saw Palm Beach turn this into a blowout. Palm Beach also added three in the ninth on poor Kevin Villavicencio, a position player.
