Mets Ride Whitecaps to 5-0 Victory

Hyannis, MA

The Hyannis Mets (12-14) beat the Brewster Whitecaps (10-12) 5-0 on a strong pitching performance by starter Tyler Wilson (UNC, 1-0) and a slew of five consecutive hits in the the bottom of the the sixth inning.

Wilson, who started the game for the Mets was issued his first win of the season, pitching seven strong innings only giving up two hits to the Whitecaps, and striking out seven. Wilson breezed through the first five innings with help from his fastball, which consistantly hit 91 mph; before he gave up a two-out hit to John Barr (Virginia) in the top of the sixth. Wilson would stay in until Kevin Moran (BC) would come in for relief in the eight and pitch one solid inning.

Sean Bierman (Vanderbilt) started the game for the Whitecaps and was issued the loss, his third of the season. Hyannis started the scoring in the bottom of the fourth when Jackie Bradley Jr. (South Carolina) hit a 1-out double to score Dustin Harrington, who had reached base in the previous at bat on a double. The Mets bats came alive in the bottom of the sixth, when they added four more runs on five consecutive hits. Dustin Harrington (ECU) hit a 2-out single to start the rally, and was then followed by Jackie Bradley Jr., and a double by Eddie Rohan (Winthrop) that was scorched to leftfield corner that scored both Harrington and Bradley. Kenny Swab (Young Harris) then laced a single between the Whitecaps second basemen and shortstop and then proceeded to steal second. Swab was then driven home on a double by Elliot Soto (Crieghton) that was absolutely hammered to left-field and fell in over John Barr's head. Stayton Thomas (Texas) came in for relief of Bierman to end the threat. Bierman pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing five runs (all of them earned) off of nine hits, and fanning only two.

Dallas Gallant( Sam Houston) picked up his third save of the season, retiring the side in order with one strike-out. Other notables for the Mets tonight included Johnny Ruettiger (ASU) who went 2-for-3, Jackie Bradley Jr. who went 3-for-4 with and RBI, and Eddie Rohan who picked up two RBI's and went 1-for-3 on the night.

The Mets are in action tommorow night at Spillane Park in Wareham at 7pm.
