Game #28 – April 28 – Knights Field

Jhonkensey Noel blasted a 409 foot home run in the 1st to give the Knights the early lead. The Knights added a run in the 3rd when Adam Frazier doubled and Noel singled him home. Owen Miller followed with a single that scored Noel to make it 3-0. Charlotte seemed to break the game open when Anthony Santander and Mike Gerber drew walks to load the bases and Danny Santana blooped a single over 2B Jeff McNeil's head to make it 5-0. The Mets summoned Caleb Smith from the bullpen and he retired Colten Wong to end the inning.

The Mets scored twice in the 5th on a 2-run triple by McNeil. New York scored twice more in the 5th on a Jose Iglesias error and an RBI groundout. Anthony Santander made a spectacular catch in right with a runner at 2nd to end the inning and preserve the lead.

Noel led off the bottom of the 5th with his 3rd hit of the game, a double to left, and scored when Miller singled up the middle to make it a 6-4 game. Miller went deep to left to lead off the bottom of the 7th to give the Knights a 7-4 lead. The Knights poured it on in the 8th when Noel smashed a double into the gap in left to score Ryan McKenna, Miller grounded out to score another run, and Santander mashed a 387 foot home run to right. Gerber followed with a 435 foot home run to dead center to make it 12-4. The Mets tallied a run in the 9th.

Noel went 4-5 and fell a triple short of the cycle. He scored 4 times (new team record!) and drove in 3 runs. (Noel's 4 hits are also a new team record.) Miller went 3-4 and collected 4 RBIs. Santander and Gerber also went 3-4.
