This one was hit a mile high but when it came down Gerson Molina had his second home run in three days. It's his fourth extra-base hit in his first week as a pro. #Mets pic.twitter.com/ieQzTVZDOF

Columbia hit for some nice power, slugging a couple homers as well as four doubles, however, their offense is at the bottom, with a .595 team OPS, batting .198 and slugging .284. Sharp’s homer put the team ahead, and Molina’s put the game out of reach.
