Chiefs Take Tight Tilt
Charlotte left fielder Ben Cross was sensational. He was 3-4 with 2 home runs and a double. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Syracuse beat the Knights, 3-2. The winning pitcher was Clarence Jackson. He tossed 115 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. Thom Stevens finished the game for Syracuse and earned his 5th save.

Syracuse third baseman Dave Drew contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the third. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 82nd hit of the season and put the Chiefs ahead, 3-1.

"That's baseball," said Charlotte manager Jose Gualdron. "Sometimes the other team plays better than yours."

With the win, the Chiefs improved to 44-59.
