Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (31-44/11-3)
SYRACUSE 2, LEHIGH VALLEY 1 (BOX)
The story of this game is two-fold: Nolan McLean absolutely dominated, and the Mets won in a walk off.
Starting off with McLean, the righty continued his strong season, throwing six scoreless innings. He gave up three hits, walked three, and struck out 10. He was excellent on the day. Despite the dominating display, he earned a hard luck no-decision, as the Mets were also kept scoreless through six. The IronPigs scratched a run across in the seventh — ironically, off the bat of Old Friend Donovan Walton — which would hold until the ninth. The Mets rattled off two RBI singles, the first by Drew Gilbert, and the game winner by Joey Meneses.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (45-22*/10-4)
BINGHAMTON 3, ALTOONA 0 (BOX)
Binghamton and Altoon kept each other scoreless through five, with Alessandro Erolani throwing five innings of one hit ball, and the Rumble Ponies cobbling together a bullpen game. Carson Benge broke the tie with a home run in the sixth and added an insurance run with a double (that probably should have been caught, but it is a line drive in the scorebook) in the seventh. Nick Morabito put the finishing touches on the day, driving Benge home with an RBI single.
The pitchers deserve a shout out on the day, too. Jordan Gerber, Carlos Guzman, Cameron Foster, Ryan Lambert and Anthony Nunez combined to give up three hits, walk two, and strike out seven.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (46-20*/9-8)
BROOKLYN 13, WILMINGTON 0 (BOX)
This was one of the weirder 13-0 games you will see. Brooklyn only amassed nine hits on the day, but managed to work 11 walks (yes, 11 walks). Everyone who took a turn at bat got on base. There were also two errors committed by Wilmington. Obviously, Brooklyn hit, but the unforced errors by Wilmington were staggering in amount.
They also pitched well, surrendering just three hits and walking two. It was a dominant display from both sides.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (34-31*/10-6)
ST. LUCIE 10, BRADENTON 2 (BOX)
St. Lucie won in a blowout just like Brooklyn did, but in a markedly different way. The team had 22 hits in the game, with everyone getting at least one — and seven out of the nine starters adding more than one hit. They also walked five times. They went 8-22 with runners in scoring position, a truly shocking amount of at bats with runners in scoring position, and still managed to leave 11 men on base because they were hitting for nine innings straight.
Channing Austin had an alright start, but the bullpen held it down.
- 3B Trey Snyder: 3-5, R, RBI, BB
- SS Jeremy Rodriguez: 2-5, 2B, 2 RBI, K
