Meléndez Delivers Clutch At-Bat for Syracuse in Walk-Off Win
The Syracuse Storm picked up a win at Storm Park, knocking off the Mt. Vernon Bulls, 3-2. Starting pitcher Bob Browning played a key role in the triumph. Syracuse reliever Alejandro Reyes picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Nathan Bolton was saddled with the loss. The Bulls fall to 6-13 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2025 season.

John Meléndez was the walk-off hero for Syracuse. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, the Syracuse right fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring triple to send the teams home.

"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Browning said.
