Michael Antonini gave up a solo homer in the first inning, the only blemish either staff made, and on this night, enough to give the lefty his 2nd loss of the season. Antonini had a great outing, scattering 7 hits and that lone run over 7 innings. The Mets were 3 hit in the loss, and were 0 for 1 with RISP, leaving 5 on base.

Dylan Owen’s first high A start of the year resulted in a loss, despite pitching well (3 runs, 2 earned, over 7 innings). Emary Frederick gave up the eventual deciding runs in the 8th inning (2 of them).
The Mets had 6 hits and 2 walks, but their only offense was a 2 run Ike Davis homer, and a Kirk Nieuwenhuis RBI single. For Davis, it was his 6th of the year, and 2nd in 3 games, 3rd in 5 and 4th in 10. Davis had the only multi hit game, while Matt Bouchard (0 for 4, K, .223), Hector Pellot (0 for 3, .254), Rafael Arroyo (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .105) and Richard Pena (0 for 1, run, 2 BBs, .087) took 0-fers.

Savannah 3, Augusta 2
Chris Schwinden had a good outing today, surrendering just 2 runs on 6 hits in 6.1 innings, but it was Manuel Olivares who got the win with 2.2 scoreless innings of relief, as the Gnats rallied for 2 in the bottom of the 9th to walkoff.
The Gnats had 7 hits and 4 walks in going 2 for 8 with RISP, and they left 8 men on base. Sean Ratliff had the only multi hit game for the Gnats, while Rafael Fernandez (0 for 3, BB, .252), Jefry Marte and Josh Satin (0 for 2, run, 2 BBs, .309) took 0-fers. The starter for Augusta worked 5 innings, and recorded EVERY SINGLE OUT via groundball. That’s right, he went 15:0:0, but he’s 24 1/2 years old in the Sally League, with a 11.00 GO/FO ratio.
