PORT ST. LUCIE, FLA - The St. Lucie Mets pushed across the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning to post a 3-2 victory over the Fort Myers Miracle on Saturday night at Tradition Field.

The Miracle opened the scoring in the very first inning for the fourth straight road game. Tanner Witt, who had walked to lead off the inning, scored on a bases loaded single by Chris Paul to put the visitors on top 1-0.

The Mets answered in the second inning to take a 2-1 lead on a two-out, two run homerun by John Mora off Miracle starter Randy Rosario.

Fort Myers responded quickly as Paul struck again in the top of the third to tie the score at 2-2. Gordon singled with one out, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch, and scored on Paul's line drive RBI double to left field.

The Miracle did have a couple of good chances to push across a run late in the game as they put two runners on base in each on the 10th and 11th innings, but were unable to break the tie.

As a result, the score remained unchanged until the bottom of the 11th when the Mets were able to plate the game-winner. Miracle reliever Luke Bard retired the first two batters in the inning before Wuilmer Becerra reached on an infield single, stole second, and scored on Michael Katz' line single to left field.

The Miracle and Mets will close out this three-game series in Port St. Lucie on Sunday afternoon. The first pitch will take place at 1:00 p.m. at Tradition Field.
