The Mud Hens edged the Chiefs 2-1 in Syracuse Saturday night to pick up their fifth-straight road win!
The Chiefs knocked on the door first in the fourth inning when Zach Walters doubled in a run off Shawn Hill to give Syracuse an early 1-0 lead. The Hens immediately took the advantage in the top half of the fifth when Avisail Garcia and Brandon Douglas each singled in runs to give Toledo the decisive 2-1 lead.
