Chiefs Win Nail-Biter
The Syracuse Chiefs cut down the Lehigh Valley IronPigs by the score of 7-6 in 12 innings. Much of the credit went to center fielder Mike McDermott. McDermott went 5 for 7 with a home run, a double, and 3 singles for the Chiefs. Syracuse is now 23-16, Lehigh Valley 17-22.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 12th. With one out, McDermott hit a curveball from Tony Smith for a solo home run. The Chiefs, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This place was electric at the end," McDermott said.
