Ewing hits game-winning single as Syracuse wins over Rochester, boosts Mets' prospect rankings.
The New York Mets' promising prospect, A. J. Ewing, continued his impressive season on Thursday night when he delivered a walk-off single to lift Syracuse over Rochester Red Wings, 3-2.
The 21-year-old ripped a line drive to right field off LHP Zach Penrod in the bottom of the ninth inning, scoring Kevin Villavicencio from third base and securing the victory for the up-and-coming Triple-A team. Ewing's performance was especially notable as he came into the game batting just 1-for-5 with the RBI. However, his confidence on the field has seen him improve significantly over the past year.
