Arroyo's First-Inning Blast Powers Syracuse Past Lehigh Valley

Syracuse jumped on Lehigh Valley early and never looked back, rolling to a 10-4 win behind an attack that produced 11 hits and three home runs. The Mets set the tone in the bottom of the first, when A.J. Ewing tripled to lead off, Nick Morabito reached on a hit-by-pitch, and Christian Arroyo drove a three-run homer to center field that staked Syracuse to a 3-0 lead. The IronPigs answered with a pair in the second and chipped away in the third and fourth, but Syracuse responded with single tallies in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings to keep the lead.

Starter Carlos Guzman set the tone on the mound, working two and two-thirds innings in which he allowed one hit, no runs, and one walk while striking out two to earn the win. Brandon Waddell took the longest turn but was tagged for three earned runs on five hits over three and one-third innings, surrendering a solo home run, walking one, and striking out three. Anderson Severino and Daniel Duarte finished the job with a clean inning apiece, fanning two between them.

Cristian Pache stamped the night with a 3-for-4, three-run, one-RBI line that included a solo home run, while Ewing finished 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, two RBI, two runs scored, and a walk. Ryan Clifford added a solo homer and two RBI. Syracuse blew it open in the eighth on a two-run double by Ewing that scored Pache and Ben Rortvedt.

Binghamton Held Hitless In Loss At New Hampshire

Binghamton's bats were silenced in a 6-0 no-hitter at New Hampshire, with the Rumble Ponies failing to record a single hit while drawing six walks and stranding 10 runners. The Fisher Cats broke a scoreless game open in the bottom of the fourth, when starter Zach Thornton surrendered five hits and a walk that produced four runs, including a two-run double that put the home club ahead for good. Binghamton's best chance to that point had come in the top of the fourth, when Eli Serrano III, Jacob Reimer, and Chris Suero drew consecutive walks to load the bases with one out, only for Jose Ramos to fly out and Kevin Parada to strike out swinging.

Thornton was tagged with the loss after four and two-thirds innings, allowing seven hits, five earned runs, three walks, and one home run while striking out four. He surrendered a solo shot in the bottom of the fifth before being lifted. Gabriel Rodriguez followed with a clean one and one-third innings, walking one and striking out two. Kevin Gowdy was charged with an unearned run in the seventh on a fielding error of his own, and Ben Simon worked a clean eighth with a strikeout.

Brooklyn Falters In Fifth As Frederick Pulls Away

Brooklyn jumped ahead in the bottom of the first when Mitch Voit was hit by a pitch, advanced on a Corey Collins single to right, and scored on a Ronald Hernandez sacrifice fly. Frederick answered with a run in the third before breaking the game open in the fifth, when starter Noah Hall surrendered an RBI single, walked a batter, and was lifted with runners on first and second. Reliever Garrett Stratton entered and immediately gave up a three-run home run, ballooning the deficit to 5-1 and effectively ending the Cyclones' chances.

Hall finished his outing with four and two-thirds innings, seven hits, four earned runs, two walks, and four strikeouts. Stratton went one and one-third innings, walking one, fanning three, and surrendering the lone homer charged to him. Nate Lavender allowed a run on two hits while striking out three in his inning, Parker Carlson tossed a clean frame, and Gregori Louis closed it out with a scoreless ninth that included a strikeout.

Brooklyn's only response after the first came in the bottom of the eighth, when Antonio Jimenez led off with a single, swiped second base on a strikeout, and scored on a Daiverson Gutierrez single up the middle. Jimenez paced the offense at 1-for-4 with a stolen base, while Collins, Gutierrez, and Colin Houck added the team's other base hits in a four-hit, 6-2 loss. Houck's double in the seventh was the only Cyclones extra-base knock of the night.
