Hyannis Mets Game Stories
Friday, June 22, 2007
YARMOUTH-DENNIS - On a night that saw cooler weather than expected, the Hyannis Mets pulled out a game at Red Wilson Field against the Yarmouth Dennis Red Sox that was a little too close for comfort, 7-6. Central Florida's Austin Hudson got the start for Hyannis and was backed by one of the team's best offensive efforts of the season.
The Mets struck for three runs in the fourth inning, as the first five batters reach base. James Darnell of South Carolina and Kiko Vazquez (Central Florida) led off with singles, followed by Patrick Long (Georgia Tech) reaching via an error. Shea Robin of Vanderbilt had a base hit to drive in one run right before Miami's Ryan Jackson had another to knock in two more.
As Hudson was cruising, he hit a road block in the top of the seventh, allowing a one out walk, a base hit and another walk to load the bases. He was pulled in favor of San Diego's Ricardo Pecina, who allowed two inherited runners to score, but was bailed out by two great by Shea Robin (Vanderbilt) gunning Red Sox out on the base paths.
Hudson went 6.1 innings, allowing 2 earned runs, 3 hits, 3 walks and struck out 3. Hyannis would tack on four runs of insurance in the eighth and boy would they need it.
Lead off singles by Vazquez and Long, followed by a sacrifice bunt from Robin and two more singles from Jackson and Phil Bell (UAB) drove in two runs. After one more out was made, Dan Brewer of Bradley singled in two more runs to put the Mets up 7-2.
The game featured a fifteen minute rain delay during the sixth inning, pushing the game ever closer to the setting of the sun. With that in mind, prior to the eight inning it was predetermined that the eighth would indeed be the last inning. Pecina returned to the mound and almost lost it for Hyannis. He loaded the bases on three base hits, before allowing a grand slam to Kentucky's Collin Cowgill to make it 7-6. He then recorded a popout to put an end to the inning and the game.
Hudson (1-0) was the winner, while Steven Dodson (0-1), who went 5.1 innings, allowing 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned and 2 walks, while striking out 2, took the loss. Hyannis returns home Sunday, as they take on the Cotuit Kettleers at McKeon Park at 5 P.M.
