Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/23/21: A thriller in Syracuse
Share this story
SYRACUSE 9, LEHIGH VALLEY 8 (BOX)
This one was a slug fest, with the IronPigs and the Mets trading blows in the late innings before Syracuse ultimately came out on top. Thomas Szapucki started strong, allowing only an unearned run in four innings and striking out five while the Mets built a lead off home runs from David Thompson and Drew Jackson. Bradley Roney and Sam McWilliams were much less successful, however, allowing six runs in four innings between and putting the Mets in a tie game despite another home run from Drew Jackson and a solo shot from J.D. Davis. Cody Bohanek came through in the bottom of the eighth, but Corey Oswalt - making his season debut - coughed up that lead in the top of the ninth as well. The Mets got a gift in the last frame thankfully, with a walk, single, and passed ball allowing Sebastian Elizalde to scamper home with the game winning run.
