By Adam MacDonald, St. Lucie Mets Broadcaster
JUPITER, Fla. (July 29, 2025) – The St. Lucie Mets rallied back from a 7-3 deficit after six innings to beat the Jupiter Hammerheads 12-7 on Tuesday night at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. The Mets extended their winning streak to a season-high six games.
Trailing 7-3, the Mets scored three runs in the seventh inning to get within one. Trey Snyder hit a RBI single and later scored from third base on a two-out wild pitch. Trace Willhoite delivered a RBI single to make it 7-6.
The Mets scored six runs in the eighth inning to take command of the game. Randy Guzman scored from third base on a wild pitch by Samuel Carpio to tie the game 7-7. Carpio threw the very next pitch wild to bring Yonatan Henriquez to the plate for an 8-7 Mets lead.
Snyder singled home a run to make it 9-7. Snyder and Kevin Villavicencio then executed a double steal with Snyder going to second and Villavicencio racing safely home from third base on the throw down to push the lead to 10-7. Willhoite capped the inning with a two-run homer that traveled 431 feet to left field and boosted the lead to 12-7. It was Willhoite’s third home run in the last four games vs. Jupiter and his FSL-leading 14th homer of the season. He also leads the league with 57 RBI.
Guzman led all hitters in the game by going 3 for 5 with two doubles and a RBI.
Willhoite, Snyder, Henriquez and Daiverson Gutierrez had two hits apiece.
