6/7 Minor League Report!

New Orleans 3, Oklahoma 2 in 10 innings

Not the longest game tonight in the system. Figgy started and was good for a 3rd straight start, giving up 2 hits and 2 runs over 7 innings, but got a tough ND. Ivan Maldonado, who after a disasterous April has kicked it into gear, worked 2 scoreless innings, and new signee Brandon Knight pitched a scoreless 10th for the win.

The Zs offense was not good tonight, managing just 7 hits and 2 runs of their own until the 10th, when they got 3 walks and an error. Anderson Hernandez (0 for 4, BB, 2 Ks, .186), Pornstache (0 for 5, RBI, 2 Ks, .000), and Chris Aguila (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .292) took 0-fers, while Mike Nickeas had the only multi-hit game for the Zs.

Binghamton 3, New Britain 0

Jose Sanchez and 2 relievers combined to shutout the Rockcats today, and Nick Evans hit a 2 run homer, providing all the offense the Mets would need. Sanchez went 6, allowing 6 runs and striking out 9. Eddie Camacho and Tim LaVigne finished it off.

Jose Coronado had 2 hits for the Mets, and scored a run out of the leadoff spot. Dan Murphy (0 for 4, K, .322), Mike Carp (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .350), Caleb Stewart and Saloman Manriquez (0 for 3, .250; .239) took 0-fers.

St. Lucie 0-3-0, Clearwater 1-7-0

A very tough luck loss for the Mets and Tobi Stoner today, as he and Philles prospect Tyler Brummett hooked up in a pitchers duel. Brummett came out the winner, but Tobi Stoner had yet another outstanding start, going 6 innings, allowing just a run on 6 hits (a solo homer), lowering his ERA to 2.60. Stephen Clyne and Edgar Alfonzo kept it right there with 2 scoreless innings of relief, but the offense managaed very little, just 2 singles and a double.

Savannah 5, Charleston 4 in 13 innings

Off the top of my head, I believe this is the longest game of the minor league season in the system. The balance of the scoring occured in the middle innings, with innings 1-3 and 7-12 all zeroes across. Maikel Cleto started and did not have a good start, going 5.2 innings, allowing 7 hits and 4 runs (3 earned). Josh Stinson allowed one of Cleto's 2 IHR to score, but was unscored upon himself in 2.1 innings, Julio Polanco followed with a stellar outing in long relief, going 4.1 innings allowing just 2 hits, and Brant Rustich got the final 2 outs in the 13th, picking up his first win.

All 5 of the Gnats runs were unearned due to 3 Charleston errors. Greg Veloz, Casey Craig, and Matt Bouchard had multi hit games, and every regular had at least one hit, except Richard Pena who went 0 for 6, dropping his average 8 points.

Greg Veloz (2b) 2 for 6, BB, 2 Ks, .255
Casey Craig (lf) 2 for 7, RBI, K, .328
Jordan Abruzzo (dh) 1 for 6, 2b, 2 Ks, .303
