Mauricio wasted no time putting his stamp on this game. In the first inning, he laced a leadoff double to give Licey an early 1-0 lead. He added another double in the fourth inning, his seventh of the season, and would later steal third base. Mauricio would drive in another run with a single in the eighth that would help Licey to a 10-8 win. Through 14 games, Mauricio has driven in 15 runs, along with seven doubles and six stolen bases. All of those lead the league, as does his 15 RBIs in only 60 at-bats.
Meanwhile, in Arizona, Kevin Kendall and Luke Ritter each contributed to a Peoria 7-1 win that brought them up to the .500 mark. Box Score
- SS Kevin Kendall: 0-for-4, 2 R, BB, SB, .233 AVG
- 1B Luke Ritter: 0-for-3, R, BB, RBI, .125 AVG
Despite the two Met prospects going hitless in this game, the pair still had an impact on Peoria’s win. A leadoff walk to start the game by Kendall would later lead to a run and a 1-0 advantage for Peoria. Kendall would score again in the third inning, thanks to an RBI walk by Luke Ritter. Ritter would be driven in later in the inning on a double off the bat of Jose Caballero.
No Met pitchers made an appearance in this game. The Peoria Javelinas are back home again on Thursday as they welcome in Scottsdale at 3:35 ET.
