Cole tossed six shutout innings for the second time this season and was rewarded again with a no-decision. The 23-y.o. walked four, struck out four, hit a batter, and gave up three hits. Matt Grace followed with two scoreless innings, and Rafael Martin one before he was dinged for both Charlotte runs in the 10th. Dan Butler went 3-for-4, Jason Martinson went 2-for-5 with two doubles, but the rest of the lineup was 2-for-28 as Syracuse left on 10 runners and went 0-for-11 with RISP.
