GCL Marlins 6, GCL Mets 4 (12-10) Box Score

CF Blaine McIntosh 1 for 5, R, K
3B Warren Saunders 1 for 4, RBI, 3 K .321/.368/.396

McIntosh had his first pro hit in his first pro game. He’s the athletic guy we thought wasn’t going to sign in the 13th round due to a strong commitment to Vanderbilt. Saunders is an intriguing Bahamian product with some nice athleticism.

RHP Zachary Hammer 2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, BB, K ,2.50 ERA

Seven pitchers combined for nine innings and gave up six runs. Joshua Torres and Jose Moreno both are on rehab assignment and tossed scoreless innings for the first two.
