Lehigh Valley (36-38) scored the game’s first run in the top of the first inning. With one out, Romine doubled and moved to third base on a Phil Gosselin groundout. After a Nick Williams walk put runners on the corners, Austin Listi lined a ball to left field, scoring Romine from third for a 1-0 advantage.

The Mets took the lead in the fourth. Danny Espinosa led off with a walk. Grégor Blanco then crushed a ball over the right-field wall for a two-run home run that put Syracuse in front, 2-1.

The IronPigs tied the game in the seventh. Shane Robinson led off with a single, and Romine followed with a double, putting runners at second and third. Gosselin then hit a sacrifice fly to center field that brought home Robinson, knotting the score, 2-2.
