Maplewood and Kolberg combined for 22 hits, but five Mets errors loomed large in a 12-7 win for the Braves.

The Mets opened the scoring with an Adam Gutschow RBI groundout before the Braves piled up three runs in the bottom of the first thanks to RBIs by Trevor Reinhardt and Christian Counard. A Tyler Neinas single in the fourth inning made it 4-1 Braves, but Jaden Diller's two-RBI single in the fifth inning got the Mets within one run halfway through the game.

Reinhardt and Austen Dart got those runs back in the bottom of the fifth with run scoring hits before Counard's double an inning later made it 8-3. The Mets would get another two runs in the seventh inning, but give them right back thanks to an error on a bunt and a single by Nick LeCaptain. It was 12-3 in the top of the ninth when the Mets staged a mini-comeback with Kordell Draves a pair, but they would leave two on when Charlie Neinas shut the door for the Braves with a strikeout.

Jake Schneider earned the win, allowing five runs on five hits while striking out 10 across seven innings.
