The Salt River Rafters offense put up an impressive 15 runs in their blowout victory against the Mesa Solar Sox on Saturday.
Mets prospects Brett Baty and Wilmer Reyes played key roles in the victory with each reaching base three times and scoring a combined three runs. The full box score can be found here.
- Brett Baty 3B: 1-for-3, 2 R, 3B, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K, .500/.632/.782
- Wilmer Reyes 2B: 0-for-2, R, 3 BB, 2 K, SB, .000/.333/.000
Baty struck out swinging as part of a 1-2-3 first inning for the Rafters and walked on five pitches to lead off the third.
It was in the fourth inning where Baty and Reyes would make their presence felt the strongest. As the third batter up in the inning, Reyes walked on eight pitches after fouling off two potential third strikes. He immediately stole second base and moved to third on a single, brining Baty to the plate. On the third pitch of the at bat, Baty would rip a 73 MPH curveball into right center for a two-run triple, putting the Rafters ahead 7-1. Baty scored when the next batter, Spencer Torkelson, singled up the middle.

Baty and Reyes both came up a second time in that inning, with Reyes walking again and Baty striking out to finally put an end to the eighth-run inning. They would each get one more plate appearance before the game was called after the top of the eighth inning, but neither would record another hit.
No Mets pitching prospects appeared in Saturday’s game.
