Syracuse answered with three in the 6th and one in the 9th while Rochester’s bats took the rest of the afternoon off in a 9-7 loss. Zach Penrod opened the game and let in three on three hits and a walk over an inning and a 1/3rd. The loss went to Justin Lawrence on a three-run HR. Christian “Hey It’s Franklin” walked twice and scored twice but was the beer man in a ten-hit parade led by Riley Adams with two singles and a double.
