Hyannis Mets Game Stories

SOUTH YARMOUTH- Terry Doyle (Boston College) improved his record to 3-1 and shut out the Hyannis Mets in 7 1/3 innings of work as the Y-D Red Sox defeated the Hyannis Mets 5-0 on Tuesday night. Doyle struck out seven Mets batters and gave up just two hits while walking just one. Austin Wood (Texas) gave up two runs in 5 2/3 innings of work for the Mets and was stuck with his first loss of the season.

Wood got through the first two innings unscathed but gave up the eventual game winning run when Grant Green (USC) scored on a Sean Ochinko (LSU) sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third inning. The Red Sox added insurance runs in the fourth and fifth innings respectively. The Red Sox scored one last run off of Mets starter Austin Wood when Collin Cowgill (Kentucky) hit a solo home run over the left field wall in the fourth inning.

Wood was replaced by Cal Northridge right-hander James Jolicouer who entered the game with a 1.35 ERA in four appearances. Jolicouer worked effectively retiring all four batters he faced.

The Red Sox added three more in the bottom half of the eighth when San Diego reliever Ricardo Pecina, who has had a difficult time getting things going this season, started off by walking the first two batters. Aaron Luna (Rice) and Collin Cowgill scored on a pinch-hitting Diego Seastrunk (Rice) single. Jason Castro (Stanford) who reached on a fielder’s choice scored the final run of the game on a perfectly executed squeeze play by Grant Green (USC).

Four hits were all Mets batters were able to muster as David Macias (Vanderbilt), Shane Petersen (Southern Illinois), Patrick Long (Georgia Tech) and Shea Robin (Vanderbilt) all singled in the contest.

The Mets are in action again Wednesday night at McKeon Park to face the Cotuit Kettlers 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/.
