SYRACUSE 8, BUFFALO 6 (BOX)
Ah, the classic. Syracuse blew a lead in the ninth when John Curtiss gave up three runs without recording an out. For a change, Syracuse actually rallied to win in the bottom half; Mauricio lead off with a single but was promptly erased on a double play. With two outs, Abraham Almonte walked before Rafael Ortega took the second pitch he saw out to right field for a walkoff two-run home run. All-in-all a much more enjoyable experience than usual given Syracuse’s bullpen. Oh, and Mauricio had a homer and a stolen base to go with two strikeouts.
