The Syracuse Chiefs (44-63) earned an 11-10 comeback win in 13 innings against the visiting Pawtucket Red Sox (48-57), after trailing 7-0 early in the game.
The comeback was in full swing as the two teams exchanged leads for four extra innings, before an error by the Red Sox’s Ivan De Jesus brought home the winning run for the Chiefs.
The Chiefs were checked out early on, showing some fatigue from their recent string of road games. The team played a late game in Durham Sunday night, and a rain delay caused an even later finish. Their bus from North Carolina did not arrive back in Syracuse until almost 10 a.m.
The Red Sox did most of their damage in the top of the 2nd inning, where they took a commanding 6-0 lead.
Pawtucket increased their lead to 7-0 with a single run in the 3rd.
The Chiefs comeback effort began in the bottom of the 4th when catcher Pedro Severino hit a solo homerun to put the home team on the board.
The comeback continued with the Chiefs scoring one run in each of the following three innings, and then three runs in the 8th to tie the game.
Both teams went scoreless in 9th, sending the game to extra innings.
The two teams will meet again at 6:35 p.m today at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse.
