Sappington goes 4-for-6 as Orange Sox Squeeze Past Caribbean
The Syracuse Orange Sox topped the Caribbean Commies, 11-10, the lion's share of the credit going to second baseman Geoff Sappington. On the day, Sappington was 4-6 with a home run, a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5 for the Orange Sox. Marvin Hidalgo, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. Syracuse is now 41-17, 2½ games up in the RCL R Tony Fernandez Division.

In the top of the eighth, the Orange Sox grabbed the lead when Sappington hit his 4th triple of the season. The bases-clearing triple off Sal Penalosa made it 10-7, Syracuse.

"When the ball finds the sweet spot," said Sappington, "I can't complain."
