He went five innings, improving his ERA to 13 (lol) and striking out seven while allowing two runs to cross the plate. The problem, though, is that Worcester did not have two runs cross the plate all night. Their only extra-base hit was courtesy of Max Ferguson, and the WooSox also only drew one walk on the night. Their win expectancy was kept minimal for the vast majority of the night despite the thin lead Syracuse held.

David Sandlin threw the next two innings, allowing two runs, which included a home run and three walks. Sandlin has not handled the switch to the bullpen well and now has an 8.79 ERA in 14 1/3 innings (11 appearances) in that role, which he switched to on August 5th. Prior to that date, between AA and AAA, Sandlin had a 3.50 ERA in 87 1/3 innings.

The RailRiders treated the base paths like train stations in the first game of this shortened series, thanks to Cooper Criswell allowing six runs on eight hits in his 4 2⁄ 3 innings.
