GAME ONE
TOLEDO 4, SYRACUSE 1 / 7 (BOX)
Alex Valderde struggled out of the gate, giving up three consecutive singles to load up the bases on 10 total pitches. He ended up allowing four runs, and it definitely could have been worse if the Mud Hens hadn’t been as careless on the basepaths as they were, as a player got thrown out at third and another got picked off. Ultimately, it really wouldn’t mean much, as the Syracuse offense was extremely lethargic in this first game of their doubleheader. They managed only three hits total and drew an additional four walks, a Mark Vientos sac fly accounting for their only run of the game.
