The Gwinnett Braves lost the final game of their homestand 4-2 Thursday at Coolray Field, but the game was overshadowed by an injury to pitcher Erik Cordier.
Cordier was struck in the head by a line drive in the sixth inning, and was taken from the field on a stretcher. He was conscious and moving his arms and legs when taken to Gwinnett Medical Center.
Syracuse right fielder Jesus Valdez was 1-for-3 with his 6th RBI of the series, and first baseman Chris Marrero was 3-for-3 with an RBI for Syracuse.
