The Ponies catcher went 2-4 with two doubles and two RBI. Zach Ashford's two-run single plating Jordan and Senger put the Ponies ahead 4-2 in the fourth.

Somerset (32-23, 76-48) chipped away at the Ponies 4-2 lead in the sixth with a sacrifice fly from Rodolfo Durán and the Patriots eventually tied the game as Andres Chaparro's second double of the night scored Austin Wells in the seventh. Chapparo went 2-4 with an RBI and Wells finished the game 3-4 with an RBI.

New York Mets pitcher Tylor Megill struck out all three batters he faced in the first inning and needed just 11 pitches with nine strikes. Megill also struck out all six batters faced during his two rehab appearances.
