The St. Lucie Mets, who had a ten-game losing streak earlier in the season, were led to an eight-game winning streak by shortstop Corey Ragsdale, who entered the season as a .193 hitter in four pro seasons. The Mets' 2001 second-round pick went 12-for-29 (.414) during the week and put together his second nine-game hitting streak of the season -- the longest of his career. He went 1-for-3 with a homer, two runs and two RBIs in a 7-3 win over Jupiter on June 20 and collected a pair of hits, runs and RBIs the next night in a 14-6 rout of the Hammerheads. Ragsdale's biggest game of the week came on June 25, when he went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a career-high five RBIs in the Mets' 8-7 win over Daytona. The 22-year-old from Jonesboro, Ark., also homered against Palm Beach in the final game of the week.
