ST. LUCIE 10, JUPITER 4: The Mets mustered one hit in Game 1, but nearly won. Maikis De La Cruz produced a leadoff homer in the fifth against Jarlin Garcia to open the scoring. The Mets took that 1-0 lead into the final frame, but could not hold the lead. Bobby Parnell, on a rehab assignment, entered for the save in the seventh and was wild. He surrendered a one-out RBI single to Cameron Flynn that tied the score. Parnell ended up loading the bases, but struck out Rehiner Cordova for the second out. Akeel Morris relieved Parnell and got the final out to avoid further damage. Brian Anderson blasted a go-ahead homer against Morris in the first extra inning. The loss spoiled a stellar pitching performance by Miller Diaz. He blanked the Hammerheads for six innings, allowing three singles and striking out six. Outside of the De La Cruz homer, Garcia was perfect through six innings. Parnell allowed two hits and two walks while striking out one. He recorded two outs.

They scored three runs -- on an RBI single by De La Cruz and two-run double by Matt Oberste. Colton Plaia launched a solo homer in the second and added an RBI double in the third. De La Cruz completed the scoring in the sixth. He laced a two-run triple and scored on the same play due to a throwing error for a 10-3 lead.
