Buccaneers Win, 11-7, at Syracuse
No one was more impactful than Scott Moffitt in the 11-7 Rocky Mount win over Syracuse. Moffitt was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Butch Metzger got credit for the save for Rocky Mount. It was his 3rd of the year. The Buccaneers go to 65-39, putting them first in the AL AAA East.

Jim Gantner had a productive at-bat in the top of the sixth inning. With runners on 1st and 3rd, the Rocky Mount first baseman hit a run-scoring single. It made the score 6-5, and led to the win.

"Enjoyed this one," Moffitt told the Rocky Mount Today. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
