BINGHAMTON METS - HAPPEL WEEK 3 RECAP

Monday 4/18/11 vs Portland (Win) -

The week got off to a decent start. Binghamton Mets Right Fielder Brian Happel picked up an RBI on a bases loaded sac fly in the seventh inning.

Then, Happel sparked another comeback win when he led off the bottom of the ninth with a ringing single. Binghamton scored 3 runs en-route to a walk-off win over Portland 5-4. After the game, manager John Griffey named Happel the every day starter in right field.

Tuesday 4/19/11 vs Portland (Loss) -

Happel wasted no time extending his hit-streak to seven games with an RBI single to left field in the first inning. He also smacked his first extra base hit of his career with a double to the opposite field.

Then in the eighth inning, Happel hit his second double of the game, knocking in another run. He also made a poor base-running decision, getting thrown out trying to leg out a triple.

Wednesday 4/20/11 vs Portland (Win) -

The Mets managed to win, despite Happel struggling at the plate. He went 0-4, including striking out with the bases loaded and 1 out in the fifth inning. Happel's 7 game hit streak came to an end. Happel also sat out the next game, on Thursday, against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

Friday 4/22/11 at NH (Win) -

Happel and the Mets missed out on an opportunity to do some significant damage in the first inning, when Happel grounded out with runners at first and second. However, he did get a nice single down the third base line that just stayed fair.

Happel finished the game going 1-5 with a strikeout.

Saturday 4/23/11 at NH (Win) -

It will certainly be a game to remember for Binghamton outfielder Brian Happel, who hit the first home run of his professional career.

Happel took a swing at the first pitch he saw in the 8th inning and sent a rocket out over the center field wall, measuring about 400 feet. The 2-run blast gave the Mets a bigger cushion going into the ninth, as they held on for the win.

Mets fans - both in Binghamton and New York - hope this is the first of many home run swings they'll see from Happel

Thanks for following Milkbone! I did this with My Player in NBA 2K11 (at least until The Show came out hehe), and had a lot of fun with it. It'll get much more involved when I get to the Major Leagues.. So I hope you'll keep reading. If you start something similar up, I'll definitely check it out!
