The St. Lucie Mets secured an exciting walk-off win against the Tampa Tarpons, defeating them 4-3 in a thrilling 12-inning game at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie on Saturday night, April 19, 2025. This marks the Mets’ first walk-off victory at home this season, improving their extra innings record to 2-0. This victory comes shortly after a previous matchup where the Mets fell to the Tarpons 6-1 at Clover Park.
St. Lucie Mets vs. Tampa Tarpons Game Highlights
The game-winning moment came in the bottom of the 12th inning when A.J. Ewing hit a deep fly ball to center field. With Colin Houck waiting at third base, the ball dropped just short of the warning track, allowing Houck to jog home easily. Ewing was credited with an RBI single, sealing the victory for the Mets.
Outstanding Relief Pitching by Chandler Marsh
The Mets’ victory was strongly supported by relief pitcher Chandler Marsh. Marsh, a right-handed pitcher from the University of Georgia, retired all six batters he faced during the 11th and 12th innings, striking out five. Marsh earned the win and has impressively not allowed a base runner in 7.2 innings pitched this season.
Game Recap and Key Moments
The Mets initially held a narrow 2-1 lead heading into the ninth inning. However, Tampa’s Engelth Urena tied the game with a leadoff home run off Mets reliever Edgar Moreta. Despite having the winning run on third base with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Mets were unable to capitalize due to strong pitching from Tarpons reliever Brandon Decker, who struck out two batters and induced an infield pop-out.
Extra Innings Drama
Both teams scored their automatic runner in the 10th inning. Tampa’s Juan Matheus drove in a run with an RBI single, while the Mets tied the game again when Simon Juan scored on a wild pitch from Decker. Neither team managed to score in the 11th inning, setting up the dramatic finish in the 12th.
Key Players and Performances
A.J. Ewing stood out offensively for the Mets, going 3-for-4 with two walks (one intentional), one RBI, and one run scored. Ewing is now batting .429 for the season. Mets starter Will Watson pitched effectively, allowing just one run on five hits over five innings, striking out four batters.
Impressive Pitching Control
Pitching control was a significant improvement for the Mets in this matchup. Watson, Dylan Tebrake, Moreta, and Marsh combined to pitch 12 innings without issuing a single walk, a notable turnaround from Friday’s game, where Mets pitchers walked a season-high 13 batters.
