LEHIGH VALLEY 9, SYRACUSE 7 (BOX)
Last night’s game between the Syracuse Mets and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs remained scoreless until the top of the fourth inning, when Lehigh Valley scored a pair on a home run off of Humberto Mejia. Syracuse immediately tied the game in the bottom half of the inning on Mark Vientos’ ninth homer of the year. Syracuse took the lead in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI triple that drove home a pair, and headed to the late innings with a 4-2 lead. Morale rapidly deteriorated from there.
