Hot Chickens Suffer 7-4 Loss to Starks
The Syracuse Starks defeated the Nashville Hot Chickens, 7-4, at Hot Chickens Park. Syracuse first baseman Carl Watson had a superb performance. He was 3-5 with 3 singles, while scoring 2. Picking up the save was Nick Watson, his 4th. The Starks saw their win-loss record go to 39-41. At the same time, the Hot Chickens fell to 33-47.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the second. That's when Starks catcher Paul Ferguson hit a splitter from Takakazu Ishihara for a 2-run single. Just like that, Syracuse was up, 2-1.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Watson.
