Mets Farm Report: July 22nd, 2009

Stars of the Night:
AAA – Argenis Reyes
AA – Ruben Tejada
HiA – Reese Havens
LoA – Chris Schwinden
SSA – Jim Fuller/Justin Garber
Rk1 – Ryan Mollica
Rk2 – OFF

AAA – Buffalo Bisons

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Buffalo 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 10 1 Louisville 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 1 Recap | Box | W: McNab (4-2, 2.01); L: Ramirez, Ra (5-7, 4.39); SV: Knight (3) HR: BUF: Reyes, A (2).

AA – Binghamton Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Connecticut 0 0 0 0 6 2 0 1 0 9 9 1 Binghamton 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 3 5 1 Recap | Box | W: Bumgarner (7-1, 1.56); L: Niesen (1-5, 7.36) HR: CON: Witter (2), Bumgarner (1). BIN: Tejada (3).

WOW! Eric Niesen gets victimized by the Mad Bum show in every which way.  Not only did Mad Bum outduel him on the mound with 7 great innings of ball, but he also took him deep for part of a 5 run 5th inning hitting his first career homerun and grand slam.  Ruben Tejada was the only one to get to Mad Bum with a solo homerun. Ike Davis gathered a hit off the tough lefty which is an encouraging sign.

HiA – St. Lucie Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E St. Lucie 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 5 2 Brevard County 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 X 2 5 0 Recap | Box | W: Willinsky (5-2, 3.18); L: Shaw, S (4-6, 3.75); SV: Henderson (2) HR: STL: Havens (9).

Another nice game since returning from the DL for Reese Havens.  Havens had the only multi hit game including his 9th homerun of the year in just 204 at-bats.  Bad night on the basepaths with Brahiam Maldonado and Kirk Nieuwenhuis getting caught stealing.  Decent night pitching for Scott Shaw just a tad too many walks, but solid night overall.

LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Savannah 1 2 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 7 9 0 West Virginia 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 11 7 Recap | Box | W: Schwinden (7-5, 3.14); L: Leach (3-1, 2.58) HR: SAV: Gronauer (6).

Great night for Chris Schwinden.  By far Schwinden’s best night with the K’s striking out 10 Power on hte night and yeilding no walks and only 5 hits.  The rest of the pitchers outside of Tim Smith were spotless.  Kai Gronauer was the offensive star with a homerun and 3 RBIs.  Wilmer Flores also pitched in an RBI.

SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Brooklyn 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 Vermont 0 2 0 0 0 0 X 2 2 0 Recap | Box | W: Stewart (2-1, 3.86); L: Fuller, J (3-3, 1.75) HR: None.

Ouch tough game for the offense, but nice job by Jim Fuller.

Game 2

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Brooklyn 2 4 0 0 1 0 0 7 7 1 Vermont 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 4 10 2 Recap | Box | | Game Story: VER W: McHugh (5-1, 4.11); L: Hicks (2-2, 6.31); SV: Powers (6) HR: None.

Much better job for the offense with just Robbie Shields (0-4, K) and Justin Garber (0-0 3BB RBI, 2 R) were the only batters who did not record a hit, but has you can see Garber had a nice game nontheless.

Rk1 – Kingsport Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Kingsport 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 3 5 2 Pulaski 1 0 1 1 0 2 0 0 X 5 10 4 Recap | Box W: Tome (2-3, 7.43); L: Torres, Jh (0-2, 3.00); SV: Merry (1) HR: PUL: Britton 2 (5).
