Syracuse drops doubleheader to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday Syracuse, NY – The Syracuse Mets lost both halves of a doubleheader to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Friday night, falling in game one, 3-0, and in the second game, 6-4. The RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, have now won three of the first five games in the seven-game series. Game one of the doubleheader was marked by excellent pitching for both sides early on. Mets starting pitcher Nate Fisher held the RailRiders off the board in the game’s initial stages, tossing a three-inning scoreless start. It took some work to make it that way, however. Fisher loaded up the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the third as Ryan LaMarre and Armando Alvarez singled followed by a walk for Miguel Andujar. After that, Fisher commenced his magic trick. First, Oswald Peraza lined into a double play out to shortstop, a hard-hit drive that allowed the Mets to double off Alvarez at second base. That made it runners on first and third with two outs, and Fisher officially got out of the mess by inducing a Greg Bird popout to end the frame. The game remained scoreless until the top of the fifth, when Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (22-36) finally put some runs on the board. Ender Inciarte singled leading off the inning, moving up to second on a groundout by LaMarre. Armando Alvarez then drove home Inciarte by punching a groundball through the right side of the infield and into right field, making it a 1-0 game. After an Andujar single made it two on and one out, Oswald Peraza struck out to give Syracuse hope of escaping the inning somewhat unscathed. It wasn’t meant to be, as Greg Bird lined a sharp double into the gap in right-center field that scored Alvarez and Andujar to make it 3-0 RailRiders. From there, RailRiders starter Jhony Brito stole the show. The right-hander put in quite the performance on the mound, tossing six and one-third scoreless innings with just four hits, one walk, and five strikeouts. Brito has been outstanding in all of his minor league stops this season. The 24-year-old from the Dominican Republic began the season with Double-A Somerset, posting a 2.36 ERA in 42 innings with 38 strikeouts. In two Triple-A starts, Brito has now gone a combined 11 and one-third innings of one-run ball. Syracuse (20-37) did make it interesting in the bottom of the seventh, mounting a brief rally in the game’s final inning. JT Riddle walked, and Travis Blankenhorn singled starting the frame, bringing the potential tying run to the plate in the form of Luke Ritter. Ritter lined out hard to right field, causing the removal of Brito with one out in the seventh inning. The RailRiders brought in their closer, Greg Weissert, and he shut the door. The right-hander struck out the next two batters in order to earn his fifth save of the season and the second straight win for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In game two of the doubleheader, the RailRiders pulled away early, scoring four runs on five hits in the first inning as their first four batters all reached and scored. Estevan Florial singled to begin the game and then scored on an RBI double from Tim Locastro. Locastro promptly scored on a double from Derek Dietrich, and then Dietrich scored on a two-run home run from Jose Peraza to give Scranton/Wilkes-Barre a 4-0 lead. The RailRiders tacked on insurance runs in the third and sixth innings. Ronald Guzmán swatted a solo home run leading off the top of the third, and Derek Dietrich provided an RBI via a sacrifice fly in the sixth to take a 6-0 advantage. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has brought the thunder at the plate during their three-game win streak, scoring a combined 21 runs on 34 hits in 23 innings. The RailRiders scored just two runs on nine hits in the first two games of this week’s series. The Mets, to their credit, went down swinging in the second game of the doubleheader. Syracuse scored twice in the sixth when Daniel Palka launched a two-run shot over the fence in right-center field. Palka has homered twice in the series and leads the team with 12 homers this season. In the seventh, the last inning in a doubleheader in the minor leagues, the Mets made some noise again. Syracuse loaded the bases with one out as Johneshwy Fargas walked, and both Cody Bohanek and Matt Rudick were plunked by pitches. Travis Blankenhorn then plated Fargas and Bohanek with a two-run single into center field. Blankenhorn has been rolling at the plate over nearly the past month, reaching base in 19 of his last 22 games, batting .342 (26-for-76) during that time with an on-base percentage near .400. That put runners on first and third with one out, as the Mets were dreaming of a late-game winner. However, it wasn’t to be. Daniel Palka struck out and JT Riddle flew out, ensuring the RailRiders would survive and win their third straight game, this one by a 6-4 margin. Syracuse has had some heartbreakers recently. Four of the Mets’ last six losses have been by two runs or less. Three of those losses were by just one run at the Worcester Red Sox last week. Syracuse continues a stretch of seven games in five days against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, on Saturday night. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. Connor Grey is scheduled to make the start for the Mets, opposed by Ken Waldichuk for the RailRiders.

Syracuse sweeps doubleheader with walk-off win and one-hitter against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday Syracuse, NY – The Syracuse Mets swept Wednesday’s doubleheader over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on at NBT Bank Stadium with a 3-2 Syracuse walk-off win in nine innings in game one and a 3-0 Mets win in game two where the pitching staff one-hit the RailRiders. After a rainout on Tuesday, the Mets are playing seven games in five days this week. Syracuse also will play a doubleheader on Friday to make up for Tuesday’s rainout. Wednesday’s doubleheader was to make up a postponed game from April 10th. In game one, Syracuse (20-34) trailed, 2-1, going to the bottom of the seventh inning, which is scheduled to be the final inning in doubleheader games. JT Riddle led off the frame with a walk, and Travis Blankenhorn followed with a single to put runners at first and second base. A fielder’s choice groundout by Nick Meyer put Riddle on third with one out with Daniel Johnson coming to the plate. Johnson got the job done, lofting a fly ball deep enough into right field for a sacrifice fly that scored Riddle from third to knot the game up, 2-2, and send the contest to extra innings. Johnson has driven in five runs in the last four games. Good defense from both sides prevented either team from scoring in the eighth, and the Mets held the RailRiders scoreless in the top of the ninth. Carlos Rincon was the free runner starting the frame at second base for Syracuse with nobody out. Riddle popped out for the first out of the frame, bringing Blankenhorn to the plate. Blankenhorn lined a single into right-center field, scoring Rincon and giving the Mets their fourth win in the last five games for a 3-2 Syracuse walk-off win. Blankenhorn is in the midst of his hottest stretch of the season offensively. Last week, the 25-year-old went 9-18 in five games at the Worcester Red Sox with two doubles, two home runs, and five RBIs. On Wednesday, Blankenhorn had two hits in game one and a double in game two. Game one of the doubleheader was marked by strong pitching for much of the contest. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (19-36) received another strong start from JP Sears, who pitched five innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits while walking one and striking out three batters. Sears has allowed just three earned runs in 31 and one-third innings during eight appearances, including six starts, in Triple-A. On the other side, Syracuse’s pitching staff kept the Mets in the ballgame. Thomas Szapucki and Yoan López combined to allow just two runs on six hits in the game’s first six innings with four strikeouts. López was particularly solid out of the bullpen, going two scoreless frames with two strikeouts. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre scored a run in the top of the second inning on a José Peraza single after Phillip Evans doubled, taking a 1-0 lead. Then, the RailRiders added a run in the top of the third thanks to a two-out RBI double from Andujar to lead, 2-0. The Mets scored their first run in the bottom of the third on a two-out RBI single from Dominic Smith, trimming the deficit to 2-1 before Syracuse’s comeback in the seventh. Much like the first game of the doubleheader, the second game was also marked by quality pitching on both sides. RailRiders starter Hayden Wesneski held the Mets in check early, beginning the game with two scoreless innings. The right-hander entered the evening with a 3.52 ERA in ten starts and 46 innings with 45 strikeouts. In the third, the start unraveled for Wesneski. After he recorded the first two outs of the inning in order, Luke Ritter walked, and Dominic Smith singled to put two runners on base. Daniel Palka brought both players home, pounding the first pitch he saw over the wall in right-center field to make it 3-0 Mets in the blink of an eye. Palka leads Syracuse with 11 home runs and 36 RBIs this season. That was all the run support the Mets pitching staff would need, as they confused the RailRiders batters throughout the second game of the doubleheader. Tim Adleman started the game for Syracuse and pitched four no-hit innings. The only player to reach base against Adleman did so because of a fielding error. Tommy Hunter retired the first five batters he faced out of the bullpen before an Estevan Florial two-out double in the top of the sixth broke up Syracuse’s no-hitter. Hunter proceeded to strike out Oswald Peraza to complete two scoreless innings. Finally, Bryce Montes de Oca came out of the bullpen to pitch a 1-2-3 ninth to secure his first save of the season. Only two batters reached for the RailRiders in a truly excellent, one-hit performance by the Syracuse pitching staff. Syracuse continues its jam-packed stretch of seven games in five days against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, on Thursday evening. Left-hander Mike Montgomery is scheduled to make the start for the Mets, opposed by right-hander Ryan Weber for the RailRiders. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.

BRUMMETT LEADS AFTER FIRST DAY OF 2022 PWBA LONG ISLAND CLASSIC ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. - Sydney Brummett of Fort Wayne, Indiana, claimed the lead after the opening rounds of competition at the 2022 Professional Women’s Bowling Association Long Island Classic. Brummett fired a 1,323 six-game total Tuesday morning to claim the lead, and she managed to maintain it when she added a six-game block of 1,233 for a 12-game total of 2,556 (213 average). Stefanie Johnson of McKinney, Texas, is second with 2,542, while Justyne Vukovich of New Stanton, Pennsylvania, is third with a 2,535 total. Latvia’s Diana Zavjalova (2,533) and Shannon O’Keefe of Shiloh, Illinois (2,498), round out the top five. The 81-player field was cut to the top 12 players after Tuesday’s second round, with Liz Kuhlkin of Schenectady, New York, claiming the final spot for Wednesday’s match-play rounds with a total of 2,433, an average of 202.75. Despite a difficult and sometimes grueling 38-foot lane condition, Brummett simply tried to keep things as simple as possible, and as she described it, “play catch with her target.” “They were hard,” said Brummett, a five-time Team USA member. “I tried to find a place where I felt like I was deep enough through the front part of the lane where I had hold. Then, I kept telling myself, ‘Just play catch with your target and see what happens.’ They were so hard that you couldn't control anything. I just wanted to hit what I was looking at, and if I did that, I would move based on what I saw. But really, it was play catch with the target, hit the 1-3 (pocket) and make the spare.” Wednesday’s match-play rounds will consist of six games starting at 9 a.m. Eastern, and an additional six games of match play at 2 p.m. Eastern. Players will earn 30 bonus pins for each win, 15 bonus pins for a tie and zero bonus pins for a loss.

The champion will earn $10,000. The same format also will be used for the BowlTV Classic, which takes place Thursday and Friday. The BVL Classic, the final tournament in the season’s first Classic Series event, will feature the top 24 players from the Long Island Classic and BowlTV Classic, based on their 24-game qualifying totals. Total pinfall will drop at the start of the BVL Classic, and the 24 advancers will bowl 24 games of round-robin match play to determine the five bowlers for the stepladder finals, based on total pinfall and bonus pins.

Syracuse snaps skid with 8-4 wire-to-wire win at Worcester on Thursday Night Worcester, MA – The Syracuse Mets used a six-run, six-hit inning to propel itself to an 8-4 victory over the Worcester Red Sox at Polar Park on Thursday night. The Mets have won six of the nine games they have played against the WooSox. The second inning was the pivotal inning in the game for Syracuse (16-33). The Mets scored six runs on six hits, sending 11 men to the plate in the process. Nick Meyer, Cody Bohanek, Jake Mangum, Mark Vientos, and Daniel Palka all provided RBI hits in the inning. Bohanek had the biggest blow of the frame, pounding a two-run double down the left-field line. Meyer, Vientos, and Palka chipped in RBI singles in the second-inning offensive explosion for Syracuse, giving the Mets a 6-0 advantage. Félix Peña took it from there, tossing an excellent start on the mound for Syracuse. In the first five innings, the right-hander was nearly unhittable, allowing just three hits and four total baserunners in five shutout innings with six strikeouts. Peña also induced a pair of groundball double plays to limit any potential damage. In the sixth, the Worcester (25-26) closed the gap. Peña left his start with two runners on base and two outs as Trey Cobb entered with the score still at 6-0. Rob Refsnyder then chopped a groundball to third base that appeared like it would end the inning, but Vientos threw poorly to first base for an error, loading the bases in the process. Christin Stewart proved the error to be costly, lining a double to left-center field that cleared the bases and made it a 6-3 game. Stewart has six runs driven in during the first three games of the series. Ronaldo Hernandez then came to the plate and hit a slow roller in front of home plate. Nick Meyer threw accurately to first base, but Carlos Rincon dropped the throw while covering the bag, allowing another run to score, trimming the Syracuse lead to two, 6-4. Mercifully, Jaylin Davis flied out to end the inning and keep the Mets in front. Syracuse would hold the lead the rest of the way as the bullpen shut the door. Trey Cobb pitched a 1-2-3 seventh, Alex Claudio did the same in the eighth, and Eric Orze equaled the feat in the ninth to clinch a Mets win. Orze finished the game with a flourish, striking out two WooSox batters on the way to victory. A pair of insurance runs in the eighth and ninth for Syracuse made the road to a win a little less bumpy down the stretch. JT Riddle tripled leading off the eighth and later scored on a wild pitch to make it a 7-4 game, followed by a two-out RBI single in the ninth from Palka that brought home Khalil Lee for an 8-4 Mets edge. Palka finished the game 3-for-4 with two runs driven in. Lee also scored twice in the game and doubled. The 23-year-old has four runs scored and three extra-base hits in the first three games of the series. Syracuse plays game four of the six-game series against the Worcester Red Sox on Friday night with first pitch set for 6:45 p.m. Mike Montgomery is scheduled to start for the Mets, opposed by Josh Winckowski for the WooSox.

Syracuse drops wild series opener at Worcester, 9-8, in ten innings Worcester, MA – The Syracuse Mets fell in their series opener at the Worcester Red Sox on Tuesday night, losing a hotly contested, back-and-forth game, 9-8, in ten innings at Polar Park. The weeklong, six-game series is the Mets first trip to the home of the Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate this season. Syracuse is now 0-8 on Tuesday nights during the 2022 campaign. Syracuse (15-32) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second when three straight singles from Mark Vientos, JT Riddle, and Nick Dini brought home the game’s initial run. Worcester (24-25) bounced right back and tied the game with a run themselves in the bottom of the second as Ronaldo Hernandez plated Rob Refsnyder via a sacrifice fly. Refsnyder had started the inning with a single, moved to second on a Christin Stewart single, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and then scored on the sacrifice fly. Both teams scored again in the third inning. In the top half of the frame, Khalil Lee launched a booming home run over the 22-foot-high right-field wall at Polar Park, surging Syracuse to a 2-1 lead. Worcester promptly scored twice in the bottom half of the third to take its first lead at 3-2. Ryan Fitzgerald and Stewart each had RBI singles in the inning. The roller-coaster of early runs kept right on rolling in the top of the fourth as the Mets brought three more runs across the home plate to take another lead, this time at 5-3. All nine Syracuse batters came to the plate in a top of the fourth that featured three hits and three walks. One of the walks was with the bases loaded by Vientos, scoring Daniel Johnson and completing the inning’s scoring. Dini and Gosuke Katoh had raced home earlier in the inning on RBI singles by Johnson and Jake Mangum respectively. This teeter-totter of a baseball game leveled off once again in the fifth when Stewart crushed a two-run home run that knotted the contest back up, 5-5. Stewart, a former first-round pick by the Detroit Tigers, had an excellent evening at the plate. The former Tennessee Volunteer went 3-for-5 with three runs driven in. The WooSox seemed to surge ahead for good when they scored three more times and took an 8-5 lead in the bottom of the sixth. Jarren Duran singled home a run and later scored in the pivotal sixth inning for the Red Sox. The Californian finished the game 2-for-5 at the plate with two runs scored. Duran is 7-for-19 in five games against Syracuse this season, including at least one hit in each of the games. On this night, a win for the WooSox wouldn’t be that easy. Syracuse tied the game right back up in the top of the eighth, plating three runs all with two outs. First, the Mets loaded up the bags with two outs via a Katoh walk, a Mangum single, and a Lee walk. Carlos Rincon then stepped to the plate and chopped a high hopper to shortstop, but with Jeter Downs throwing poorly to first base, Katoh and Mangum dashed home and made it 8-7. Daniel Palka was the next batter due up, and he made it count, slicing a single into shallow right field to score Lee and tie the game up again, 8-8. The game remained tied at eight all until the bottom of the tenth, when Worcester finally ended the competitive and slightly wacky game. As custom, Yolmer Sánchez started the frame at second base with nobody out. An intentional walk to Duran made it runners on first and second base with nobody out, and then Connor Wong ended the evening. The former Houston Cougar sliced a double down the left-field line, plating Sánchez and handing Worcester a 9-8 win. It was just the second win for the Red Sox in seven tries against the Mets so far this season. To summarize: the game featured four ties, three lead changes, and 27 combined hits. The Mets and WooSox combined to use 11 pitchers and left a total of 22 runners on base. The game took more than three and a half hours, clocking in officially at three hours and 32 minutes. Syracuse played just one game that took longer than three hours last week against Rochester, a three hour and three minute affair in a 9-7 loss on Thursday night. Syracuse has a very quick turnaround, playing game two of the six-game series against the Worcester Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon with first pitch set for 12:15 p.m. Thomas Szapucki is scheduled to start for the Mets, opposed by Thomas Pannone for the WooSox.

OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS WEEKLY GLANCE (For May 25 – 31, 2022) Anderson and Via return to USBC Open Championships to defend titles Andrew Anderson of Chesterfield Township, Michigan, and Chris Via of Blacklick, Ohio, returned to the United States Bowling Congress Open Championships this week to defend the titles they captured at the 2021 event. Anderson entered the 2022 tournament as the defending champion in Regular Singles after rolling games of 269, 277 and 256 for an 802 series last year at the South Point Bowling Center. Via rolled the only other 800 series of the 2021 event (825) during his team event and added sets of 768 in singles and 710 in doubles to win Regular All-Events with 2,303 – the third highest nine-game total in the 118-year history of the USBC Open Championships. Although neither Anderson or Via were able to return to the top of the standings at the 2022 event, each provided their share of excitement during their appearance at the South Point Bowling Plaza. Anderson now has rolled an honor score in each of last three appearances at the Open Championships after posting a 300 game during his team event May 27 on the way to a 718 series. He started his set with 214 before connecting for 12 consecutive strikes in Game 2, and finished team with 204. The 27-year-old right-hander became the 37th bowler to roll multiple 300s on the championship lanes after firing his first perfect game during singles at the 2019 event, also contested at the Bowling Plaza. Anderson also became the 37th bowler to own both a 300 game and 800 series at the Open Championships in 2021 when he took the lead in Regular Singles. There now are 38 bowlers who have achieved the feat. His title defense in singles started with 243 in the opening game, but the momentum did not continue as he finished with 195 and 181 for a 619 series. Scott Patke of Lansing, Michigan, leads Regular Singles at the 2022 event with an 835 series. Via started his run at a second consecutive Regular All-Events title with a 724 series in team May 29. The 30-year-old two-hander needed to average nearly 253 the next day during doubles and singles to catch the leading total of 2,241 by three-time Eagle winner Brian Waliczek of Frankenmuth, Michigan. He posted 682 in doubles and finished with 750 in singles to get to 2,156 for his nine games this year at the Bowling Plaza to move into 20th place in Regular All-Events. Regular Singles and Regular All-Events features bowlers with entering averages of 176 and above. Collegiate bowler connects for 300 in tournament debut at South Point Tyler Betz of Roseville, California, made his first appearance at the USBC Open Championships this week, and the 20-year-old college student at Tennessee Southern rolled a 300 game during his doubles set May 30. The two-handed right-hander started doubles at the South Point Bowling Plaza with games of 225 and 194 before connecting for 300 in Game 3 for a 719 series. He paired with James Yannaras of Waukesha, Wisconsin, for a 1,275 total in Regular Doubles. Betz competes on the bowling team at Tennessee Southern, which qualified for the 2022 Intercollegiate Team Championships in April. The Firehawks are coached USBC Hall of Famer Bob Learn Jr., who also was competing on the squad. The perfect performance is the second for Betz on the national stage in 2022. He also fired a 300 game in January across town at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino during the USBC Team USA Trials. New leaders emerge in Classified Doubles at 2022 USBC Open Championships The husband-and-wife duo of Dennis and Melissa Burnham of White River Junction, Vermont, took over the top spot in Classified Doubles on May 31 at the 2022 USBC Open Championships with a 1,188 total. Dennis put together games of 197, 229 and 265 for a 691 series at the South Point Bowling Plaza, and Melissa added 156, 152 and 189 for a 497 set. Ronald Jackson of Stone Ridge, New York, and Terri Donahue of Ulster Park, New York, previously held the lead with 1,165. Classified Doubles features bowlers with combined entering averages of 310 and below. Three bowlers celebrate 50 years of participation at Open Championships Three ceremonies were held this week at the South Point Bowling Plaza to recognize bowlers for 50 years of participation at the USBC Open Championships. Fred McClain of Allen Park, Michigan, made his milestone appearance May 28. The 1987 Team All-Events champion started his career at the 1971 in Detroit, and he has made his annual visit each year since 1973. Through 50 appearances, he has knocked over 87,958 pins for a lifetime average of 198.1. Joe Greer of Muncie, Indiana, and Ed Duer of New Port Richey, Florida, each made their 50th appearance May 30 at South Point. Greer’s run to 50 consecutive years at the Open Championships started at the 1972 event in Long Beach, California. He has toppled 59,545 pins for a 167.7 average. Duer’s debut was at the 1967 tournament in Miami, and he has a career pinfall of 82,845 for 50 years and a 186.5 average. A look ahead Bob Martin of San Antonio is scheduled to become the final bowler to join the 60-Year Club at the 2022 USBC Open Championships on June 6 at 9:30 p.m. Pacific. Martin, who made his debut at the 1962 tournament in Des Moines, Iowa, will become the 32nd bowler to reach the milestone. Gene Kirkham of Loves Park, Illinois, and Mike Schmid of Minneapolis each made their 60th appearance earlier this year.
