Cardinals defeat Mets 3-1
ORLEANS- Wynn Pelzer (South Carolina) went five innings en route to earning the win for Orleans as the Cardinals defeated the Mets 3-1 on Tuesday night. Bryce Stowell (Cal-Irvine) took the ball for five solid innings as well but gave up one more run than did Pelzer. There were a total of eight different hurlers showcased throughout the contest. Hyannis featured three and Orleans used their platoon of five pitchers including Nick Christiani (Vanderbilt) who recorded his second save of the season.
The Cardinals drew first blood in the fourth inning off of a Jose Jimenez (Tampa) single that drove in Dennis Raben (Miami) from second base. Raben, who started things off for Orleans with a one out walk, advanced into scoring position when Nate Freiman (Duke) drove a Bryce Stowell (Cal-Irvine) 2-2 pitch up the middle for a single. After the Jimenez RBI single, Chase D’Arnaud (Pepperdine) tacked on one more run in the Cardinals fourth when he singled in Nate Freiman from second.
The Mets broke through in the top half of the fifth inning when David Macias (Vanderbilt) reached first on a fielder’s choice. Macias advanced into scoring position after Phil Bell (UAB) grounded out to record the second out of the inning. With Scott Elmendorf (Southern Illinois) up to bat, Macias advanced to third on a wild pitch by Wynn Pelzer. What happened next is what many familiar with the Cape League lovingly refer to as a “Cape Cod Squeeze.” Macias advanced on yet another wild pitch to score the only run of the game for the Mets.
The Cardinals tacked on one more insurance run in the bottom half of the eighth inning when Dennis Raben scored his second and final run of the game.
The Mets certainly had a host of opportunities on Tuesday night but were unable to capitalize. As a result the Mets left five runners in scoring position and stranded a total of nine runners on base.
In his first outing of the season Stowell showcased a lot of promise striking out five Orleans Cardinals batters, walking just two, and offering up three hits. Stowell walked one and gave up each of the three hits to his credit in the bottom of the fourth as Orleans got on the board twice. Stephen Penney (Cal-Riverside) also saw his first work of the Cape League season in relief for Stowell. Penney went 2 1/3 innings and gave up one run off of three hits and one walk. In addition, Penney struck out three Cardinals batters. Hunter Harris (Texas) made his third appearance of the season and finished the final 2/3 of the eighth inning leaving his 0.00 ERA unscathed.
The Mets are in action again Thursday night at McKeon Park and face the Wareham Gatemen at 5:00 p.m. Those unable to attend can watch the game and commentary of John Cabral and Chris Blake as every Hyannis Mets home game will be webcast live at http://ccbl.cape.com/.
