Tyler White singled home Murphy and DJ Stewart followed suit with another RBI single to make it 8-5. Jaylin Davis brought the Mets all the way back with a three-run homer to tie the game.

In the sixth, Nick Meyer broke the 8-8 deadlock with a three-run home run. Stewart and Carlos Cortes provided two insurance runs in the eighth as they each hit solo shots to make it 13-8.
