Carolina Beats Syracuse, 5-3
Carolina Reapers starter Steve Cates pitched well against the Syracuse Scorpions at Scorpion Stadium, leading his team to a win, 5-3. Cates, now 6-11, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 8, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Jake Schmitt got credit for the save for Carolina. It was his 9th of the year.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bobby Phillips? The Carolina first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Reapers on top, 2-0. For the game, Phillips had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Phillips called the win "a team effort."

The loss makes Syracuse 56-77.
