Hyannis Mets Team Coverage 2009

Johnson's only mistake through four had been the high fastball to Hunter Morris (Auburn), who belted his third homer of the year. In the fifth, he experienced more trouble after walking Adams (Florida) and allowing the three subsequent batters to reach base as well. Two of those runners scored and he left the game after striking out his seventh. He went 4 2/3, surrendering 3 runs on 3 walks and 5 hits.

For the Commodores, Cooper pitched 5 strong innings, allowing only one run. He gave up 5 hits, a walk and struck out two. With the score at 3 to 1 when he left the game, he was in line for the win.

Messer (UNC) came in to relieve Johnson, for the Mets. After retiring 4 of 5 batters, he fell apart. He only recorded one out in the seventh before handing the ball to teammate Chris Haney. Messer was charged with 5 of the 6 runs scored in the top of the 7th. A two run ball game transformed to a 9-1 lead for the Commodores.

While relief for the Mets only widened the gap in the score, Falmouth pitching improved in the latter innings. Patrick Cooper, Evan Danielli, and Chad Sheppard shut down the Mets with untouchable pitching. From the 6th inning on, the Mets reached base twice and stuck out 8 times, scoring one run on a past ball. 

Falmouth won the ball game 10 to 2. The winning pitcher was Jordan Cooper who improved his record to 1-1 and his ERA is still impressive at 1.69 for the year. Vollmuth (Southern Mississippi) had the most impressive batting performance for Falmouth. He went 3 for 5 with a triple and a home run, 3 RBI's and 2 runs scored. Nick Crawford and Jackie Bradley Jr. were the only Mets to not strike out in tonight's ball game, which was all but fun to watch.
