Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (46-28/8-6) GAME ONE: SYRACUSE 6, SCRANTON/WILIKES-BARRE 5 / 7 ( BOX ) The Mets won game one of their double header against the RailRiders in walk off fashion, but there was plenty of fireworks before the walk off as well. The Mets ran out to a 3-0 lead in the first, with Luke Ritter, Mike Brosseau, and the newly promoted JT Schwartz driving in the runs. A Pablo Reyes second inning home run made it 4-0.
They would lose said lead, with Tylor Megill surrendering two runs in the fourth and two runs in the fifth to make it a tie game. Shintaro Fujinami surrendered a solo shot in the top of the seventh to put them behind for the first time on the day. The Mets quickly rallied against old friend Phil Bickford, with Luisangel Acuña starting the inning with a single, stealing second, and advancing to third on a wild pitch.
Reyes would work a walk, steal second, and a second wild pitch saw Acuña run home with the tying run. Luke Ritter ended up playing hero, hitting a walk off single to secure the comeback.
