Although the final score would suggest otherwise, for the second straight night, fans in Syracuse were treated to a fabulous pitchers' duel at Alliance Bank Stadium, as Pawtucket prevailed 6-1. The game was tied 1-1 heading into the 11th inning when Jon Hee walked with the bases loaded, Che-Hsuan Lin doubled, knocking in three runs and Ryan Lavarnway singled in the final tally.
