Last Night's Action: Mets Drop Another Series to Braves

2006_04_smetslogo.jpg

  • Braves 7, Mets 6: There was a 9th inning rally, but the Mets fell short and lost their 4th series against Atlanta this season. Down by 4 runs entering the 9th, the Mets clawed back to within one run before Oscar Villarreal picked up his first career save. In the 9th, Carlos Delgado almost tied the game with a home run, but Willie Harris robbed him with a leaping catch over the wall. It was the second time in the game that Harris made a leaping catch in the outfield to rob the Mets of runs. John Maine, who was roughed up for a second start in as many games, was cruising along until the 5th inning when he allowed back-to-back home runs to Chipper Jones (3 run-homer) and Mark Teixeira. While they still have a 3.5 game lead over the Braves, losing another series to a division rival doesn't bode well.

  • S.I. Yankees 5, Crosscutters 2 (10 innings): In a night when their big league affiliates were off, the Baby Bombers forced extra innings by tying the game in the 8th inning and eventually scored 3 runs in the 10th to beat Williamsport. Matt Morris scored on a wild pitch for the go-ahead run in the 10th and Damon Sublett then added some insurance runs with a two-run double. Sublett has 9 RBI in his last three games.

  • Mercury 97, Liberty 86: The Liberty continue to struggle losing their 8th game out of the last 10. At least they lost to the Mercury, who are in first place in the Western Conference. 25-point efforts by Janel McCarville and Shameka Christon weren't enough to lift the Liberty past Phoenix.
