Syracuse Chiefs second baseman Irving Falu alluded a tag during an attempted steal in the 7th inning of yesterday’s second game of a double-header against Rochester. Despite the “no tag” he was called out. The Chiefs defeated Rochester in extra-innings 3-2.
In the first inning of Wednesday’s game Andrew Stevenson (right) and Irving Falu were so close on the base paths that they could probably hear each other breathe. They were both anxious to score, but Falu got called out at home. Nonetheless, the Chiefs scored 4 runs in the first and eventually defeated the Iron Pigs 10-6 after being shut out on Independence Day. This risk-taking Billy Ball is alright with us.
The Chiefs are on a win streak and have defeated the Buffalo Bison for two straight games thanks to some active bats. Centerfielder Andrew Stevenson went 2-for-4 yesterday. He is shown here in the bottom of the third inning getting back to first after taking a lead. Syracuse won last night 2-1. In both games the winning run came courtesy of Irving Falu (who hit two home runs).
