Syracuse starter Maxwell Hight pitched well against the Newark Bears at Valiants Ballpark. The left-hander led his team to a win, 8-5. Daniel Leone was called on to finish, recording his 17th save. Syracuse is now 55-49, Newark 50-54.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Michael Taylor? The Syracuse third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Chiefs on top, 5-1. For the game, Taylor had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Good, gritty kind of win," said Chiefs manager Abe Blowers.
