Mets prevail in pitchers' duel, move to 2-0

Three pitchers combined to throw an eight-hit shut out in the Hyannis Mets' 1-0 victory over Falmouth (1-1) in the home opener at McKeon Park Monday night.

Starting pitcher Andrew Carraway (Virginia) picked up the win after giving up four hits and striking out seven in 5.1 innings of work, while Ashur Tolliver (Arkansas-Littlerock) gave up three hits and fanned three in 2.2 innings and Russell Brewer (Vanderbilt) closed the door in the ninth to pick up his second save for the Mets, which improved to 2-0 on the young season.

In a classic pitchers' duel, Hyannis' lone run came in the fourth on four base on balls. Luke Murton (Georgia Tech) walked and later scored on a walk by Casey Frawley (Stetson). Frawley reached base safely all three times -- he double, walked and was hit by a pitch.

Steve Daniels (Brown) added a triple for the Mets, while Murton, John Hinson (Clemson) and Trent Ashcroft (East Carolina) had one hit apiece. The Mets play at Brewster Tuesday night (5 p.m.) and return home to play Chatham Wednesday at 7 p.m.

AJ Pollock (Notre Dame), Trevor Coleman (Missouri) and Rob Segiden (Tulane) had two hits each for Falmouth, which plays at Orleans on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Starting pitcher Rex Brothers (Lipscomb) took the loss after giving up one run on three hits, while walking five and striking out four in four innings. Evan Danielli (Notre Dame) and Ben Tootle (Jacksonville State) combined to pitch four scoreless innings in relief.
