AA Eastern League: Binghamton 4/12/1, Richmond 11/19/0

Chris Schwinden's 2nd AA start was a bad one, he got torched for 5 runs on 10 hits in 4 innings for the loss, and his relievers weren't much better, giving up 6 (3 earned) over 5 innings. Eric Campbell's error led to 3 UER off Emary Fredrick, to totally put the game out of reach.

The Mets offense had 12 hits, and struck out just 5 times, and were 2 for 5 with RISP, while leaving 6 on base. Jon Malo, DJ Wabick, Eric Campbell and Jose Coronado had multi hit games, while Luis Hernandez (0 for 4, .307) took the only 0-fer.

Robert Carson cruised in the game, giving up just 2 runs on 5 hits in 7 innings for his 4th win of the season. Overall, the Mets had 13 hits and 4 walks in the game, and though they did strike out 10 times, they were a terrible 8 for 13 (.615) with RISP, and left just 5 on base.

A South Atlantic League: Savannah 2/6/2, Kannapolis 3/10/0

The Gnats defense let them down in the 7th, with an Alonzo Harris keying the door open for a 3 run Kannapolis rally against Mark Cohoon and Erik Turgeon, enough to doom the Gnats tonight, as they were held to just 6 hits and 2 walks (both by Jefry Marte, who has an insanely AWESOME 17/27 BB/K ratio this year), while the team went 2 for 10 with RISP, left 6 on base, and struck out 6 times.
