The P-Jays rebound from an ugly 14-1 loss to put it in the win column with a standout performance from their top player, as the Toronto farm records 3 wins against 1 loss.
Ty Taubenheim was knocked around for 5 runs over 2 2/3, raising his AAA ERA to a lofty 2.01. Chad Mottola tripled and singled, while Rob Cosby delivered all 3 Syracuse runs on the only other hit for the team – a 3-run homer in the 2nd. The team did collect 6 walks, including 2 for second baseman Russ Adams.

Brian Pettway was the only hitter of note, with a solo homer, a walk, and a single.
2006 16th-rounder Chase Lirette cruised through 5 innings, allowing a run on 4 hits while striking out 3 and not walking anyone. Matt Liuzza’s 3-for-4 was topped by Jonathan Baksh’s perfect 3-for-3 with a walk.
