From Clover Park in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, the New York Mets take on the Miami Marlins.
Ground ball, and that'll go off the glove of Connor Norby.
Rounding third is Mike Tauchman.
He will score, motoring into second, Tyrone Taylor with his second double of the spring.
That one is scorched into left center field, and that is one hop against the wall.
That'll score two.
Taylor in, Mauricio in.
It is a two RBI double for Ryan Clifford, and the Mets jump on top three-nothing.
Over the jump of Xavier Edwards, and the Mets tack on another one.
Ryan Clifford scores.
Christian Arroyo, the RBI knock.
Four-nothing, Mets.
He does hit it and sends it into left center field.
That'll split the defenders.
Carson Benge on second, rounding second, headed towards third.
Coming in to score is Hayden Sanger.
It is an RBI triple for Carson Benge, and the Mets go on top five to nothing.
We talked in the open about how to judge a young player with this kind of talent, and does he start the season with the big club?
This is an adjustment in only his second at bat against Phillips that you have to admire.
Phillips just kept going to the well with a pitch that he could not make contact on.
He finally does, and with the speed that he has, he's a five-tool kind of player, and he turns it on when he gets to second base and turns that into three bases.
Through the left side of the infield for a base hit.
One run comes in to score.
A second run comes in.
It is a two RBI single for Carson Benge, and the Mets go up seven to nothing.
Again, that head right on the ball, the follow through, just like we saw on the double to left center.
That's gonna be an RBI base hit.
It'll be extra bases for Mauricio, an RBI double.
The Mets have scored four in the sixth, and they're up nine-nothing.
