Colin Houck came through with a clutch two-run homer in the eighth to lift Brooklyn in Game 1 of the SAL North Division Final. The former first-round pick needed the breakthrough after a rough regular season in High-A (.558 OPS), following a stronger showing at Low-A St. Lucie (.812 OPS).

Triple-A

Syracuse Mets (71-68) 3, Worcester Red Sox (69-69) 2

BOX SCORE

• SS Jett Williams – 1-for-4, R, HR (4), 2 RBI, K (.666 OPS)

• RHP Dom Hamel (5.32 ERA) 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Hamel, who has worked primarily out of the bullpen since April, has strung together three straight scoreless outings. Still awaiting his major league debut after a brief August call-up, he profiles as a potential depth piece for the Mets’ bullpen.

Double-A

Binghamton Rumble Ponies (85-45) 1, Portland Seadogs (63-67) 0

BOX SCORE

• LF Omar De Los Santos – 1-for-3, R, 2 K, SB (15) (.570 OPS)
• RF Nick Morabito – 1-for-4, RBI, SB (46) (.733 OPS)

Offense was at a premium on Tuesday, but Nick Morabito delivered a walk-off single to left in the ninth. With their win on Tuesday night, the Rumble Ponies clinched back to back 1st & 2nd half Northeastern League Regular Season Championships.

The moment that propelled the Rumble Ponies to a tie for most wins in franchise history (86) and back-to-back Northeast Division titles!

Morabito’s offensive production has dipped compared to the past two seasons (OPS down .68 from 2024), but he swiped his 46th base of the year.

• LHP Jonathan Santucci (2.52 ERA) 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K

Santucci continued his dominance for the Rumble Ponies, lowering his Double-A ERA to 2.52. After some early season difficulties, the 22-year-old lefty is emerging as another Mets pitching prospect on track to push for the majors by 2026.

High-A Postseason – SAL North Division Final

Brooklyn Cyclones (1-0) 4, Greensboro Grasshoppers (0-1) 3 

BOX SCORE

• 3B Colin Houck – 1-for-4, R, HR (1), 3 RBI (1.250 OPS)
• DH Matt Rudick – 1-for-3, 2 R, BB, K (.833 OPS)

In Game 1 of the SAL North Division Final, Colin Houck led the way with three RBIs, including a clutch two-run homer in the eighth to extend the lead. After a disappointing second-half of the regular season, the former first-round pick will look to carry a strong postseason showing into 2026.

The Brooklyn Cyclones won their first playoff game 4-3 behind a home run from Colin Houck.

Lefty Franklin Gomez picked up the win with three scoreless innings.

• RHP Brett Banks – 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

After quietly serving as the Cyclones’ most reliable bullpen arm, Banks has stumbled of late, allowing runs in three of his last four outings, including Tuesday.

Low-A

The St. Lucie Mets vs. Daytona Tortugas game was cancelled due to weather.
