PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - The St. Lucie Mets broke a 1-1 tie by scoring six runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to beat the Florida Fire Frogs 7-3 on Friday at First Data Field.
The first five batters of the sixth all reached base and scored. Cody Bohanek broke the tie with a RBI double to plate Luis Carpio. Mitch Ghelfi followed with a two-run single.
Later in the inning Carlos Cortes hit a sac fly so deep into right-center field that Hansel Moreno was able to tag and score all the way from second base. Ghelfi also scored from third base on the fly out. The two-run sac fly made it 6-1. Quinn Brodey completed the scoring by racing home from third base on a wild pitch.
