While German & Driscoll had eleven hits between them, it was Carson Law who provided the moment of the afternoon. In the Syracuse half of the fifth inning, the R.B.I. leader of the National Base Ball Organization uncorked a Grand Slam to right field off Binghamton relief pitcher Robert Schoettler, which made the score 15-0.

Every Syracuse player had a hit, and everyone except Joel Dross (2B) scored. It was an excellent display by the visitors.
