Brewer homer in 8th ties it
HYANNIS - The Cotuit Kettleers took a 4-3 lead over the Hyannis Mets into the bottom of the eighth inning, which had been designated as the last inning. It took a Dan Brewer (Bradley) home run off of Josh Lindblom with one out in the inning to tie the game at four in a game that would end after eight innings with the score 4-4.
The Mets got on the bored in the very first inning, as Scott Elmendorf (Southern Illinois) reached on an error, Shane Peterson (Long Beach State) singled, and they both advanced on a balk. With runners on second and third, James Darnell (South Carolina) stepped up and hit a triple to left center field plating both runners.
Cotuit got one run back in the top of the third when Correy Figueroa (St. Petersburg) walked and scored on a double by Josh Harrison (Cincinnati). Hyannis took it right back though, as Peterson delivered his second hit of the day, a home run to left field that just missed hitting a target placed beyond the left field fence.
The game's momentum took an enormous swing in the top of the sixth and into the seventh. In the sixth the Kettleers scored two runs on a base hit from Reese Havens (South Carolina) that scored Ryne White (Purdue) and Jason Rook (Appalachian State). They took the lead in the seventh when Figueroa scored on a double from Mets killer Robert Stock (USC).
The game situation for Hyannis mirrored the weather as the game moved to the eighth: glum and dreary. But, with one out in the eighth, Brewer hit his third home run of the season to tie the game at four. The Mets would load the bases, but fail to score the winning run in the eighth and final inning.
Bryce Stowell of UC Irvine started for the Mets and turned in his second strong start in as many outings, going six innings and giving up three earned runs and seven hits while fanning seven. South Carolina's Robert Stock took the hill for Cotuit and lasted five plus innings, giving up two runs and just one earned, while striking out four.
The Mets return to the field Thursday night, as they travel to Chatham to take on the Athletics.
