Syracuse (30-31) started the scoring in the top of the second inning. Rubén Tejada led off with a double and moved to third base on a groundout. Tejada then scored on a Travis Taijeron double to left field to give the Mets a 1-0 edge.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (34-25) tied the game in the bottom of the third when Logan Morrison hit an 0-2 pitch over the left-center field fence to lead off the inning for a home run that knotted the game, 1-1.
