Ewing’s Walk-Off Single Lifts Syracuse to Dramatic Victory

A.J. Ewing delivered a moment of magic for Syracuse, stepping up in the bottom of the ninth with a two-out single to right field that clinched a walk-off win against Rochester, with the team sporting their Salt Potatoes moniker for the night. This thrilling conclusion came after a back-and-forth contest where Rochester had twice taken the lead. Ji Hwan Bae ignited the offense by driving in a run in the fourth inning, while Christian Arroyo added another RBI in the sixth, leveling the score and setting the stage for Ewing’s heroics.

The Salt Potatoes’ pitching staff showcased their talent, potentially hinting at future bullpen upgrades for the major league Mets.
