Mets Drop 2-3 Decision to Booming Braves

HYANNIS - The Mets (5-8) and Braves (7-5) both scored early in Tuesday night's game at McKeon park. Unfortunately, the Braves' single run in the fourth allowed Bourne to come out on top 3-2.

The scoring started with two outs in the first. Braves' left fielder, Stefen Romero (Oregon State), singled to shallow leftfield and stole second to put himself in scoring position. The Mets' starting pitcher, Jay Brown (South Carolina), intentionally threw outside on the next pitch to walk the batter, in hope of a force out. However, the Mets' strategy did not work and after two singles the Braves were up 2-0.

The Mets responded in the bottom of the inning with their own two out rally. First baseman, Ryan Cuneo (Delaware), doubled and third baseman, Dustin Harrington (East Carolina), sent Cuneo home with a single; his first of two hits of the night. The Mets tied the game in the third inning with a pair of doubles from Nick Crawford (UAB) and Elliot Soto (Creighton).

What would be the winning run for the Braves came in the fourth inning. Braves' third baseman, Raynor Campbell (Baylor) reached second base on a fly ball to left field that barely fell fair. Then catcher, Tyler Hightower (Mississippi) hit a single to send Campbell home.

Logan Billbrough (William & Mary) earned the win for the Braves, while Stephen Harrold (UNC Wilmington) recorded his third save. The loss for the Mets was issued to starting pitcher, Jay Brown.

Next the Mets will travel to Chatham to face the Anglers (10-5). Game time is set for 7:00 PM.
