Hammers Jolt Chiefs, 7-6, with Late Rally
Syracuse center fielder Chris Comstock had a good game, even if his team did not. The Chiefs dropped a 7-6 decision to Gwinnett at NBT Bank Stadium. Comstock was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times. Ed Ford notched his 26th save in 32 chances. The Hammers, at 57-70, inhabit third place in the South Division.

Gwinnett used the timely hitting of Desi Rush to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Hammers on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Rush, "but we got it done."
