Stone Crabs Topple Mets, 6-4, as Burkett Shines
Charlotte designated hitter Ben Burkett had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the St. Lucie Mets, 6-4. The win for the Stone Crabs lifted their record to 86-46.

Burkett had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a first pitch screwball from Vincente Fernández, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Stone Crabs a 6-4 lead. It was the 6th home run of the year for Burkett.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Charlotte manager Hunter Pence.
