WORCESTER 16, SYRACUSE 4 (BOX)
After reaching the 50 win plateau, Syracuse lost another one, their third in a row. Dominic Hamel gave up three runs in the first and another two more in the third, but it was a disastrous fifth inning that really did the Mets in. All with two outs, Hamel and Victor Castaneda gave up seven runs on a single, three doubles, a homer, and three walks (not in that order). Syracuse ended up plating a respectable four runs, and if that fifth inning hadn’t happened, the game would’ve been close, but instead, it was a laughter.
