Stone Crabs Lose, 7-3, at Tradition Field
The St. Lucie Mets and Charlotte Stone Crabs completed their game despite the rain.

St. Lucie Mets right-hander Pancho Gutiérrez pitched a good game against the Charlotte Stone Crabs at Tradition Field, leading his team to victory, 7-3. The Mets lead the FSL South by 5 games.

Hou-kang Lian had a big 3-run home run for the Mets in the bottom of the sixth inning. With St. Lucie leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Mike Gaines and swatted a home run to center. It was his 1st home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mets ahead, 5-1.

"We're one win closer to our goal," Gutiérrez said in postgame remarks.
