BRADENTON, Fla. - The St. Lucie Mets completed a 5-1 week at LECOM Park against the Bradenton Marauders with a 2-0 victory in the series finale on Sunday afternoon.

Four Mets pitchers combined for a one-hit shutout. Starter Frank Elissalt tossed 4.0 hitless innings with four strikeouts. Only one Marauders reached base against Elissalt on a two-out walk.

Ernesto Mercedes followed Elissalt with the next 2.2 innings. The only hit Mercedes gave up came on ground ball single up the middle from Richard Ramirez. Mercedes struck out three and was credited with the victory.

Gregori Louis struck out three batters in 1.1 hitless innings. Alfred Vega pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his second save.

Mets center fielder Simon Juan provided the only runs of the game on a two-out, two-run homer to right field in the seventh inning off David Matoma. The homer came on a 0-2 count. It was the sixth home run of the season for Juan.

Trey Snyder went 2 for 4 with a double.
