Tanner Morris hit a grand slam home run in the first inning for Buffalo but the Mets came back to tie the game. Buffalo took the lead in the ninth, but the Mets tied. Buffalo scored again in the tenth but the Mets walked them off in the bottom of the inning. It was a disappointing loss. It was the opposite in New Hampshire. They trailed 8-2 in the fifth inning but scored 12 unanswered runs for the win. Dunedin won both ends of a doubleheader. They hit three home runs in game one, then scored 15 runs in game two with just five hits. They walked 18 times. No such excitement for Vancouver who lost a game in which they had four hits.

NOTES
Buffalo got off to a good start. Tanner Morris came up to bat in the first inning with the bases loaded and he took a 3-2 pitch over the fence for a grand slam. Andrew Bash made the fill-in start and went four innings, two runs allowed. But the Mets continued to chip away and tied the game in the seventh.
That setup Rafael Lantigua to double in two runs in the top of the ninth. But the Mets hit back with two runs off Brandon Eisert in the bottom of the ninth. James Ritchie hit a sac fly in the tenth to put the Bisons back in front. But the Mets hit a walk off home run in the bottom of the tenth. Spencer Horwitz had three hits for the Bisons.
