Hyannis Mets Team Coverage 2009

The Anglers stuck quickly with a leadoff single by Merrifield (South Carolina) in the first. He scored later that inning on a double by Oropesa (USC). The third baseman Mathew Perry ended the inning on a ground ball to the opposing third baseman Dustin Harrington.

In the bottom of the first, Elliot Soto (Craighton) reached on a single. During the at bats of Cuneo and Harrington, he managed to reach third on a stolen base and a passed ball. Unfortunately third base doesn't put runs on the scoreboard. The inning ended when Harrington returned the favor and grounded out to third baseman Mathew Perry.

In the fourth, the Anglers scored one more on an RBI double by Brooks (Wake Forest). The Mets retaliated with two runs in the bottom half of the inning. Harrington and Ruettiiger scored on back to back singles by Bradley and Johnson. The Mets almost had a third run score when Tolleson attempted to pick off Johnson on first and Jackie Bradley Jr. broke for the plate. He was thrown out on a call that coach Gassman didn't think was very fair. That ended the inning and the game was tied.

Green of Chatam lead off the seventh with a double. Brooks followed with his third double of the game and tallied his second RBI as well. Brooks advanced to third on a bunt and scored on a passed ball during the at bat of Addison Johnson. That run concluded the scoring for tonight's game. 

The Mets went hitless in the last five innings of the game, reaching base once on a walk. The final score was Chatam 4 and Hyannis 2. Tolleson recorded the win and Brewer the save. Relief pitcher Eric Maust (Notre Dame) was charged the loss. The Mets venture to Bourne on Wednesday the 15th.
