Alex Garlets made up the difference of the Mets’ 8-2 victory over the Yankees in Northgate Little League major division action last Wednesday.

Garlets drilled three home runs and drove in six to lead the Mets to their third straight win to start the season.

He gave starting pitcher Ian Rodriguez more than enough run support. Rodriguez was stellar from the mound, striking out 11. Andrew Ruiz struck out the side in his one inning of relief.

Stephen Perez added three singles for the Mets, and Stan Garcia Jr. legged out a double.

Nick Luccetti spearheaded the Yankees at the plate with three hits.
