SALT LAKE at LAS VEGAS: Box

BOWIE 3, BINGHAMTON 1: Paul Paez surrendered a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth and the B-Mets went 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position. Champ Stuart had three hits and two steals in the loss. In his return to Binghamton after a one-month stint with St. Lucie, Mickey Jannis allowed one run in seven innings. The knuckleballer surrendered six hits, stranded six runners and held the Baysox to 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. Box

ST. LUCIE 7, PALM BEACH 5; PALM BEACH 1, ST. LUCIE 0: In the resumption of a suspended game, former Red Sox reliever Daniel Bard entered with the score tied at 5 in the ninth and walked two and hit a batter to load the bases. Luis Guillorme then delivered a sacrifice against reliever Landon Beck. Jonathan Johnson contributed a run-scoring groundout later in the frame. Corey Taylor struck out the side in the bottom half with St. Lucie acting as the road team at Tradition Field. In the regularly scheduled game, Jack Flaherty blanked the Mets over six innings. He only allowed a pair of singles -- to Kevin Taylor and Tomas Nido to open the second. However, Jhoan Urena popped out with Taylor on third base and one out. Mora then flied out to end the threat. Flaherty walked five batters but the Mets didn't take advantage. St. Lucie starter P.J. Conlon tossed five scoreless innings despite early control issues to lower his league-leading ERA to 1.53. The Cardinals plated the game’s lone run in the sixth. Kelly Secrest walked Casey Grayson, who scored on Danny Diekroeger's double. St. Lucie slipped a half-game behind Jupiter for first place in the division. Box 1, Box 2
