The Salt Potatoes served up a walk-off win in the first "Battle of the Dishes" this season, edging out the Rochester Red Wings (Plates) 3-2 in a thrilling contest at NBT Bank Stadium.

The game stayed scoreless until the fourth inning, when Ji Hwan Bae broke the deadlock with a double off the right-field wall, driving in Christian Arroyo to put Syracuse on top. But the Plates answered back, tying the game in the sixth inning as Arroyo himself delivered an RBI single to score Nick Morabito, leveling the score at 1-1.

With the game knotted up, both teams battled through the late innings until the bottom of the ninth, when A.J. Ewing stepped up to the plate. He delivered the decisive hit—a walk-off single that scored pinch-runner Kevin Villavicencio, sending the home crowd into a frenzy and sealing the comeback victory.

The win gives the Salt Potatoes early bragging rights in this unique "dishes" rivalry, as the two teams continue their six-game series on Friday at 6:35 p.m. at NBT Bank Stadium. Fans can expect more high-stakes action as Syracuse looks to build on this momentum.
