Rob Refsnyder kept the inning going with a single to right but a groundout would end the Railriders turn to bat in the fourth inning. Rafael Bautista led off with a single, then Stevenson and Skole each drew walks to load the bases and the Railriders went to JR Graham in relief.

Tyler Jones came in to pitch the seventh for the Railriders and threw a 1-2-3 inning. Austin Adams came in to pitch for the Chiefs. Mark Payton drew a two out walk but a strikeout ended the threat. Jones threw another 1-2-3 inning in the seventh for the Railriders. Dustin Fowler reached on an error to lead off the eighth for the Railriders but would be left there as Syracuse retired the next three batters by strikeout. Ernesto Frieri came in to pitch the eighth for the Railriders and he would strike out the side. Joe Nathan came in to pitch the ninth for the Chiefs. Higashioka hit a one out double to left. After a flyout, Payton drew a walk but Nathan would get the strikeout as Syracuse took the second game of the series 10-3.

Thoughts on the game: Another outburst of runs by the Syracuse Chiefs tonight. Their top three in the lineup really sparked them tonight. Matt Skole had three RBIs and overshadowed by the Syracuse outburst, Joe Ross had a great game on the mound, going six innings, striking out three.
