Cody Cipriano drew a walk to give the Stone Crabs runners at first and second. Ryan Royster followed with an RBI to right to score O’Malley. Cipriano later scored on a wild pitch to give the Stone Crabs a 2-0 lead. The Stone Crabs got another run in the sixth on an RBI single by Matt Hall to score Ian Paxton for the third run of the game.The Mets managed to get five hits off Jesse Darcy. Of the five hits, they only put runners in scoring position three times. But strong defense and commanding pitching kept the runners from crossing the plate.
