Tough times in Syracuse

Year: 2004 Games: 31-40

The Syracuse Xpress had hit the bottom, losing nine of their last 10 games. Pitching and batting both are trouble spots. Sitting at 17-23 and 5 games back in the Federal League North. Hitting .240 with 31 homeruns and 155 runs scored, all rank at the bottom or near the bottom of the league. Outfielder Oscar Hernandez leads the team with a .301 average and has 18 runs batted in and 8 stolen bases. Samuel Villanueva has 6 homers and 22 ribbies, both team highs. The pitching went bottom also, the team ERA rose to 4.13, which is 10th best. But ace Larry Garr lost both of his starts and is now 6-3 with a 2.39 ERA and William Sousa has a 3.14 but a 2-1 record. Closer Randall Cavallo still has 11 saves and a 3.57 ERA but a horrible 0-4 record. James Sinclair has pitched well from the bullpen with a 1.02 ERA in 17.2 innings of work. " We will work our way out of this. We couldn't expect things to be great all the time. Although it certainly would of been nice." stated Manager Chris Jones.
