BINGHAMTON 3, NEW BRITAIN 1

The Binghamton Mets won their third straight against New Britain on Sunday 3-1.  The Mets would tie the game 1-1 in the bottom of the first thanks to a lead-off double by Kyle Johnson and an RBI single by Kevin Plawecki.  Binghamton would add two more runs in the third on a Travis d’Arnaud 2-run home run, and coast the rest of the way to earn the win.  Despite giving up seven hits in five innings, Angel Cuan had a strong outing giving up the only New Britain run while striking out four.  The Binghamton bullpen would come in and only allow one more hit securing Cuan’s first win of the season.  The Mets had more chances to drive in more runs but couldn’t capitalize with runners in scoring position, and would also strand eight.  Binghamton looks for the series sweep against New Britain on Monday when the send Darin Gorski to the mound.  (box score)

PALM BEACH 4, ST. LUCIE 1

St. Lucie’s six-game win streak would come to an abrupt end on Sunday, as the Palm Beach Cardinals defeat the Mets 4-1.  St. Lucie struggled to get on the board up until the 8th inning.  While trailing 3-0 the hot-hitting Brandon Nimmo would belt his fourth home run of the season, which unfortunately didn’t spark up the rest of the offense.  The Cardinals would get that run back in the bottom of the eighth.  Steven Matz started for St. Lucie and did what he could do to keep his team in it, but it was the lack of offense in the end that would bring his winless streak to five starts.  Matz went six innings giving up two unearned runs on four hits.  St. Lucie will now travel to Brevard County on Tuesday to take on the Manatees.  Michael Fulmer is the sceduled starter.  (box score)

SAVANNAH 11, LEXINGTON 6
