Mets open 24 season in style: 7-6 over Giants
Another 1 run decision maker for the scrappy Mets: this one ending on the side of the Mets against the always dangerous Giants. This game featured piles of grass clippings in the outfield and a sell out crowd of 14 including the leprechaun hiding behind the hitters eye in CF.
The Giants opened the game with a run in the first, a 4 spot in the 3rd, and tacked another in the 4th to have the lead going into the 5th. The Mets scoring came in consecutive frames (3rd/4th/5th) - taking the lead in the 5th.
Mets sent newcomer Kent Madak to the freshly waxed bump, where he earned his first D-MSBL dub, with a final line of 5IP, 6R, 5ER, 4K, 2BB. From there Ben Regner took the pill and shut the door on the Giants facing 7 batters with the final out coming on a 1-2 curve ball that was contested by the everyone in the visitors dugout.
On the offensive side of the rock, Brendan Seman, Jake Zeeb, Mason Groulx and Brett Davis brought 2 hit games to the affair and Ben Regner smacked a triple to drop a pair of RBI in the bucket.
POTG: the 4 man combination mentioned above who were responsible for 8 hits - and then Ben Regner for deciding to become a 2 way player, pumping a triple and then getting the save!
Mr. Mets fund contributions: Someone got a sombrero of the normal variety, but we’re gonna let that one go because he is SP really soon, and early season against an effectively wild SP on the other side makes for some happy feet in the box at times
