SYRACUSE 9, WORCESTER 8 / 10 (BOX)
Early on, it looked like another textbook loss for Syracuse. The newly acquired Justin Jarvis made his first start and it wasn’t a great first impression, giving up five runs- three earned- over three innings. In the fourth, Joe Suozzi put the Mets on the board with a solo homer, but the run was quickly negated by a Woo-Sox run in the top of the sixth. Brandon McIlwain made it a lot closer with a grand slam in the bottom of the inning that made it a 6-5 game, but the Syracuse bullpen continued leaking, allowing a run in the seventh and eighth apiece.
