AAA – Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders  (4-1) 3, Syracuse Mets (1-4) 4 BOX SCORE

• Travis Blankenhorn 2B: 1-5, HR
• Matt Reynolds  SS: 0-1, RBI, 2 BB
• Nick Meyer  C: 1-3, R

Syracuse finally got a win on the board with a little luck – a game-deciding fielding error in the 10th inning by Railriders left-fielder Ryan LaMarre that scored Quinn Brodey. Offensively, the Mets somehow scored four runs on only three hits. One of those three hits was a Travis Blankenhorn home run to right field in the first inning to kick off the Mets’ scoring attack.

Matt Reynolds knocked in the second run for the Mets on a sacrifice fly to center field in the second inning that scored Mark Vientos. Reynolds also walked twice last night. Finally, Nick Meyer had a hit in the fifth inning and scored the third run on a passed ball.

However, in the fourth inning, Grey allowed RBI singles by Jose Peraza and Tim Locastro. Colin Holderman blew the save opportunity in the top of the ninth inning by allowing a single to Oswald Peraza. Anthony Vizcaya pitched a scoreless 10th inning to secure the win for the Mets.
