Syracuse outshot Springfield a staggering 53-25 in the game including 20-4 in the final frame and couldn’t get out of town with points. With Cleveland losing 5-0 to Hershey tonight, nothing changes in the tie atop the North Division standings, but the Crunch had a chance to take a clear lead in that race and saw it slip through their… goaltending… fingers.
