Hammers Edge Chiefs, 8-7
The Gwinnett Hammers battled the Syracuse Chiefs into extra innings before the outcome was decided. The Hammers won it, finally, 8-7, in 10 innings. In the game, Gwinnett second baseman Ed French was 2-3 with a double, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 times. Ed Ford, who is tied for 2nd in the IL in saves with 25, was the winner in relief. His record is now 4-4. The losing pitcher was Edgardo González. Nick Kingham converted his 4th save in 5 tries.

Jim Unknown went 1 for 4 for Gwinnett. The 22-year old designated hitter had a key at-bat in the top of the tenth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Edgardo González. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"I felt good up there," said French. "I saw the ball well."

The defeat makes Syracuse 63-63.
