Offense Comes Alive in Chatham
CHATHAM- The Hyannis Mets offense got back on track pounding out eleven hits after the fourth inning in Chatham. The Mets got back in the win column defeating the Chatham A's 8-3 Thursday night.
Hunter Harris (Texas) took the win for the Mets, pitching in relief for starter Matt Daly (Hawaii). Daly went 5 1/3 innings in his best start of the season giving up 2 runs and striking out 7. Walks clearly plagued Daly and inevitably lead to his early exit. After walking the first two batters of the second inning Daly was able to strike his way out of the jam. Unfortunately the same was not true for the fourth inning as Daly again walked the first two A's batters. Chatham took advantage of the situation and plated the game's first two runs. The Mets starter was able to make quick work of the Chatham A's fifth inning retiring the side in order. However, a high pitch count forced Daly from the game in the fifth inning giving way to Harris.
Chatham A's starter Charles Brewer (UCLA) made the two run lead look comfortable as he cruised through the first four innings spotless, retiring the first twelve Mets batters he faced. James Darnell (South Carolina) broke up the no-hitter in the fifth inning as he blasted a double into left center. Darnell advanced to third on a Joey Gonzalez (UC-Riverside) single. The Mets got on the board when Kiko Vazquez (UCF) hit a fly ball to right field deep enough to score Darnell from third.
After breaking the seal in the fifth inning the Mets came alive scoring in each consecutive inning. Mets batters plated one run in the fifth, sixth & seventh innings, three in the eighth and two in the ninth.
James Darnell crushed a solo homerun to right-center in the ninth inning and ended the night going 2 for 4 with 3 RBI's. Shane Peterson (Long Beach St.) continued to tear apart Cape League pitching going 2 for 4 with one run batted in. UC-Riverside Left Fielder Joey Gonzalez also went 2 for 4 and drove in a run as well.
Earning the win for the Mets, Hunter Harris entered with one out in the fifth inning and never looked back. Harris was strong in his 2 1/3 innings of work striking out 4 A's batters. Harris gave up two hits in the seventh but bounced back in the eighth striking out the side.
Harris gave way to Mets closer Tyler Stohr (North Florida). Although not a save situation Stohr came in to close the door on the Chatham ninth inning. Stohr struggled to find his groove but gave up just one run ending the game in favor of the Mets 8-3.
The Mets are in action again Friday night at McKeon Park to face the Bourne Braves 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/.
