German Marte gave up two runs in the bottom of the eighth as a 2-1 lead turned into a 3-2 loss in a hurry.  Marte dropped to 0-1 on the season and a nice start by Deolis Guerra went to waste.  He gave up one run on four hits with four strikeouts in five innings of work.

Ambriox Concepcion was the hitting star in the loss.  He went two for four and he drove in both Mets runs in the fifth innings.

St. Lucie came from behind to beat Dunedin 3-2 and Ambiorix Concepcion led the way at the plate.  He went two for four with a double and he drove two of the three Mets runs. 

Jonathan Niese threw five solid frames and he gave up just one run in his start but he didn’t pick up the win.  Brandon Nall improved to 1-0 and he struck out one in two shutout innings.

Jose De La Torre had a rough start in St. Lucie’s 10-5 loss to Brevard County.  He gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts in five innings of work.  Each of the two relievers used also gave up at least two runs in the loss.

Ambiorix Concepcion went two for four with a run and an RBI.  Daniel Murphy doubled and drove in two runs.
