Paulson Powers Mets Past Red Sox
South Yarmouth- Ben Paulson (Clemson) blasted a solo home run, his sixth of the season to break a 1-1 tie with two outs in the top of the eigth inning as Hyannis beat the Y-D Red Sox 2-1 at Red Wilson field. The Mets who won their second straight in two nights improve to 21-18 in the Western Division and tighten the gap between themsleves and 1st place Falmouth (20-17-1).
Y-D threatened early in the game, putting runners into scoring position in the bottom of the second when a sacrifice bunt by Nick Liles (Western Carolina) moved DeAngelo Mack (South Carolina) to third and Josh Rutledge (Alabama) to second, both of whom reached base on singles to start the inning. Jason Franzblau (Arizona State) was able to dowse the offensive fire that Y-D had started though, getting Andy Wilkins ( Arkansas) out in a run-down and striking out Mike Belfiore (BC) to end the inning. Franzblau, who started had a solid outing but recieved a no-decision since the game was still tied when he was relieved. Franzblau (1-1) pitched 6 innings and allowed four hits, walked two and picked up 2 strikeouts.
After an hour rain delay in the top of the fitfh the Hyannis bats came alive in the top of the sixth when Chris Dominguez (Louisville) scored Joey Gonzales (UC Riverside) from third with an RBI single. Ryan Eden (New Orleans) would add another hit for Hyannis as he reached base before the inning was over.
The Red Sox answered in the home half of the inning though, as Ryan Ortiz (OSU) hit a double to lead off the inning, and then moved into scoring position, reaching third on a wild pitch by Franzblau. Andy Wilkins would take advantage of the oppurtunity driving in Ortiz with an RBI single.
Russell Brewer (Vanderbilt) proved to be lights out in relief for Hyannis, shutting down the Red Sox offense, and preserving the one run lead Ben Paulson gave to them in the eigth. Brewer would pick up the win, his first of the season with the loss being charged to Chris Masters (0-2,Western Carolina). The umpires would call the game with the home half still to play on account of darkness.
The Mets look to win their third straight tommorow night as they take on the Wareham Gatemen under the lights of McKeon Park at 7pm.
