Darkness puts an end to promising contest
HYANNIS - They say a tie is sort of like kissing your sister. Then that's exactly what Harvey Shapiro's Bourne Braves got the Hyannis Mets to do Tuesday night at McKeon Park. The two teams were tied at two and in a surprising twist even got to play an extra inning at a park without lights. The game ended in that 2-2 in ten innings.
Austin Wood, a lefty from Texas, got the start for Hyannis, while D.J. Mitchell of Clemson took the ball for the Braves. Bourne got on the board right off the bat with a lead off triple from Ben Guez (William & Mary), who later came in to score on T.J. Steele's fielder's choice. Wood did a fine job of working out of a jam though and preventing any further damage.
Hyannis would come back to tie the score in the sixth on an RBI single by South Carolina's James Darnell that plated Shane Peterson of Long Beach State. That hit would chase Mitchell from the game. He pitched 5.1 innings, allowing 1 earned run on 6 hits, 2 walks, while striking out 5.
The Mets took the lead for a short time, scoring a run in the bottom of the seventh when Dan Brewer (Bradley) smacked a double that earned him his team leading fifth run batted in. Wood was done after 5 innings of 1 run baseball, allowing 5 hits, 2 walks and striking out 3. He was relieved by Garrett Sherrill (Appalachian State), who continued to make a case for a full season contract with two more innings of shutout baseball.
Tyler Stohr of North Florida followed Sherrill and allowed the tying run to score as he hit T.J. Steele (Arizona) to lead off the inning, followed by a walk and a sacrifice bunt. Chris Drechsel (Wagner) came up with two men in scoring position and delivered the base hit to tie the game at two.
Mitch Harris would come on for Bourne to pitch a 1-2-3 ninth, and after he was lifted with an injury, Rick Zagone followed and retired the Mets in order in the tenth inning as well.
The Mets return the field on Wednesday as they travel to Stony Brook School to take on the Brewster Whitecaps.
