A+ Florida State League: St. Lucie 7/9/2, Fort Myers 9/10/0

By virtue of Moore going to Binghamton a spot opened up in St. Lucie, and it went to 22 year old lefty Orlando Tovar, who was having a good season for short rookie Kingsport (3 levels down). Naturally, he got ripped to pieces in the FSL, giving up 9 runs (7 earned) on 8 hits and a walk in 1.2 innings. The Mets bullpen did the job with 7.1 shutout innings of relief, allowing just 2 hits and a walk, and the Mets rallied from 9 down to bring the tying run to the plate in the 9th, but could not get any closer.

The Met offense had 9 hits and a 5/9 BB/K, while going 3 for 11 (.273) with RISP and leaving 7 on base. Kai Gronauer and Francisco Pena had multi hit games, while Richard Lucas and John Semel (0 for 4, K, .125) took 0-fers.
