As of 9:00am EST, here are the probable starting pitchers in the Mets minor league system:
Hagerstown Suns @ Savannah Sand Gnats, 7:05pm EST
Dakota Bacus (0-0, 0.00 ERA in postseason) vs. Steven Matz (1-0, 0.00 ERA in postseason)
Matz takes the hill tonight at Historic Grayson Stadium in an effort to clinch the SAL Championship for the Gnats. A solid performance from ace Gabriel Ynoa last night put them on the brink of being champions. The southpaw last took the mound a week ago on September 6th, clinching a two-game sweep of the Augusta Green Jackets. He allowed just one hit, no walks, and eight strikeouts in seven shutout innings of work. I said it the other day, but with Ynoa and Matz pitching back-to-back at home and the series tied, I’d take that duo over any other in the Sally League. If Matz helps maneuver a win, they’ll prove me right.
