It was a mixed week for the Mets minor league system with the two upper level teams both going 1 and 6 while the Columbia Fireflies (10-8) and the St. Lucie Mets (11-7) each had a winning record. Las Vegas (6-10) currently has a six-game losing streak while the Binghamton Mets (6-9) snapped their own six-game losing streak with a victory Sunday.
Saturday night was a big one for Mets shortstop prospect Amed Rosario who knocked in all four the St. Lucie Mets runs with three of them coming on his second homerun of the season.
