Pawtucket Red Sox News Release
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. There was a close call in the bottom of the tenth, but Lin gunned down the potential winning run at home plate with a perfect throw from center field.
Syracuse took a 1-0 lead as Josh Johnsons' fielders choice knocked in a run in the third inning. The PawSox answered with a homer from Will Middlebrooks, his fourth of the season. That came in the sixth.
