The Syracuse Storm did just enough to sneak past the Niagara Falls Expos, 5-3, at Storm Park. Syracuse pitcher António Muñóz earned player of the game honors. Muñóz went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 4-10. Raúl Díaz converted his 11th save in 13 tries.

Syracuse third baseman António Canales helped the Storm go up, 2-1, in the bottom of the fourth inning. With the game tied, Canales hit a run-scoring single off Niagara Falls pitcher Javier Matajudíos.

"It feels good to get that win," said Canales. "Now it's on to the next one."

Syracuse has now won 3 in a row.
