It was a quiet night for the bats on the farm for the New York Mets, but a handful of strong pitching performances were exciting to track from Wednesday night. Emilio Obispo delivered a strong outing for Brooklyn, he got exactly what he ordered after working through a rough patch at the High-A level. Meanwhile, Noah Hall struck out three over five scoreless innings in Binghamton’s shutout.
