Austin Mets Steal the Spotlight in Late-Inning Thriller Over Generals
GEORGETOWN, TX — The Austin Mets did what the Austin Mets do: grind, claw, and come out on top. Down but never out, the boys rallied late to sn**ch a 5–4 win from the top-seeded Generals Baseball Club 28+ on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Championship Series.
With the game knotted at 4 in the top of the 7th, Harrison Smith stepped up and laced a go-ahead double, delivering the dagger with swagger. That swing gave the Mets the lead — and they never looked back.
Austin got on the board early after Monty Maley forced a fielder’s choice that still brought in the game’s first run. The Generals punched right back, tying it in the bottom half and pulling ahead 3–1 by the third, thanks to a sac fly and a costly error.
But don’t count out the Mets — ever.
Doubles from Frank Deesing and company in the 6th tied things up, setting the stage for the final act. That’s when Harrison said, “I got this,” and delivered.
On the bump, Blake Glauben was downright nasty in relief, going 3 scoreless innings and striking out 5 to seal the win. Andrew Smith started the game, and Clay Shourd helped bridge the gap.
Offensively, Deesing and Maley each drove in a pair, while Rob May stayed hot, going 2-for-3 and setting the tone all night.
The Generals weren’t pushovers — Zac Reininger racked up 11 K’s, and Hardway and Homza gave our defense fits. But when the dust settled, it was Mets baseball that prevailed.
💥 Game 2 is Friday night at historic Downs Field in Austin. First pitch at 7PM. The Mets are one win away from glory. Bring your rally caps — this series ain’t over, but momentum’s wearing blue and orange.
