Carbonell was the lone Flying Squirrel with two hits. He had his 2nd triple and 2nd SB of the post-season. LaTorre also reached base twice.
Blackburn allowed nearly half his batters (12 of 26) to reach base. In the 8th inning, Crick struck out three of his six batters but also allowed a couple insurance runs. Pill, whom the Mets drafted in the fourth round three years ago and who is the younger brother of the ex-Giant Brett Pill, delivered a quality start.
