Agbayani sizzles,
Mets fizzle

Hawaii's Benny Agbayani drove in all three runs for the New York Mets in a 9-3 loss to Houston at Houston's Enron Field last night.

Agbayani hit a solo homer in the sixth and added a two-run single in the ninth.

He also had a double and scored a run in his five at-bats.

Hawaii's Chris Truby went 1-for-4 with an RBI, and he scored a run.

Agbayani is a former St. Louis School and Hawaii Pacific University star. Truby was a standout for Damien Memorial High School.
