The Clearwater Threshers swept the St. Lucie Mets in a doubleheader at Clover Park on Wednesday, handing the local minor league team a double defeat. The games were played after Tuesday's scheduled matchup between the two teams was postponed.
The six-game series at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie had been set to run through the week, but weather or scheduling issues forced the Tuesday postponement. The Mets and Threshers made up the lost game by playing two on Wednesday.
The Threshers took both contests, dealing the Mets losses in front of their home fans at the Port St. Lucie ballpark. Clover Park serves as both the spring training home of the New York Mets and the regular season home of the St. Lucie Mets, who compete in the Florida State League.
