St. Lucie goes 4-8 on season-long 12-game road trip
By Adam MacDonald, St. Lucie Mets Broadcaster
LAKELAND, Fla. (May 10, 2026) – The Lakeland Flying Tigers scored six runs in the seventh inning of Sunday’s series finale to soar to an 8-3 win over the St. Lucie Mets at Joker Marchant Stadium. Lakeland won the series 4-2. The Mets went 4-8 on their season-long 12-game road trip.
Sunday was tight for the majority of the game. Chase Meggers delivered a RBI single with one out in the top of the seventh to tie the game 2-2. Meggers was later thrown out at home plate by right fielder Anibal Salas trying to give the Mets a lead.
Lakeland took control immediately in the bottom of the seventh. Sergio Tapia hit a leadoff home run against Elwis Mijares to put Lakeland back in front, 3-2. Mijares would later walk Carson Rucker with the bases loaded to force in another run to make it 4-2.
Joe Scarborough replaced Mijares and struck out Jude Warwick for the second out. But Javier Osorio and Edian Espinal hit back-to-back two-run singles to give Lakeland an 8-2 lead and put the game out of reach.
Elian Pena went 2 for 4 with two singles, a walk and a RBI in his best game of the series.
Simon Juan went 3 for 4.
Mets starter Daviel Hurtado (2 IP, 1 R, 4 K) and long reliever Nicolas Carreno (4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 7 K) combined for 11 strikeouts over the first five innings of the game.
The Mets (14-19) are off on Monday. They return to Clover Park on Tuesday to start a 12-game, 13-day home stand. First up is a six-game series against the Jupiter Hammerheads. First pitch on Tuesday is 6:10 p.m. It is Silver Sluggers Night.
