Mets and Reds Trade Blows in High-Octane 8-8 Deadlock
A relentless string of rallies defined a game where neither side blinked. The Cincinnati Mets clawed out eight runs on eight hits, sparked by Dave Bodnar's two-hit, two-RBI showing and a deep lineup that found ways to capitalize despite committing four errors. The Wright Field Reds matched fire with fire, racking up nine hits and taking full advantage of middle innings to stay neck and neck.
On the mound, Kyle Hensley set a steady tone for the Mets, giving up just one hit and two unearned runs over three frames, striking out two. The Reds pounced in the fourth, scoring four runs on four hits, before Dave Schultian stepped in to calm the storm. Schultian allowed just one hit and two more unearned runs across two innings, striking out two and helping close the door.
The Reds answered every Mets rally, including matching the Mets? four-run fourth and two-run fifth. The result: a seesaw showdown where neither side blinked, leaving them evenly matched when the dust settled.
