SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse Spartans delivered a commanding performance, securing an impressive 12-0 win over the Syracuse Salt Cats in a game that concluded after seven innings due to the run mercy rule. Robert Johnston and Eric Korzeniewski showcased their skills and emerged as the co-players of the game.

Robert Johnston was a force to be reckoned with in this one, boasting a remarkable 3-3 stat line. He contributed two RBIs, scored two runs, drew two walks, and stole two bases. His offensive prowess to get on base, combined with his base-stealing acumen, added a dynamic dimension to the team’s overall dominant display tonight and one we all hope continues forward through the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, Eric Korzeniewski delivered an outstanding complete game shutout on the mound, further solidifying his status as a key player in the Spartans’ triumph. Korzeniewski’s stellar performance spanned seven innings, during which he allowed only four hits, struck out four batters, and faced a total of 26 opponents. His exceptional control and ability to stifle the Salt Cats’ offense were instrumental in securing the Spartans’ shutout victory tonight.

In addition to the on-field success, the Spartans community celebrated a special moment as the jersey retirement of CJ Roulo took place. Spartans owner JJ Potrikus delivered a heartfelt speech, paying tribute to Roulo’s enduring legacy and profound impact on the Spartans community. Roulo’s contributions to the team will forever be remembered, and his retired jersey, number 13, serves as a testament to his lasting influence. Today’s win was certainly in his honor!

Looking ahead, the Syracuse Spartans are eager to build on their dominant performance as they prepare for their next home game. On Saturday, July 2nd, they will face off against the Rochester Ridgemen in what promises to be another exciting matchup between the two sides. The game is scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM EST, and the Spartans are hoping to delight their fans once again to start the new month.
