August 3, 2024 - International League (IL)
Rochester Red Wings News Release
The Rochester Red Wings dropped the fourth game of the series to Omaha Friday night, 1-0. The game proved to be a defensive battle, with nine scoreless innings for both teams. RHP Andrew Alvarez delivered a solid start, pitching 5.2 scoreless innings. The Red Wings bullpen held Omaha to no earned runs through all 10 innings, highlighted by RHP Adonis Medina's seventh consecutive scoreless appearance.
After a scoreless first nine innings, Omaha scored a run in the 10th inning. Due to extra-inning rules, CF Drew Waters started the inning at second base as a ghost runner, and a 2B Nick Loftin ground out moved Waters to third. RF Tyler Gentry then reached on a fielder's choice, which scored Waters for the first run of the game. The Storm Chasers took a 1-0 lead into the home half of the 10th.
The Wings needed a run in the home half of the 10th to stay in the game but were unable to deliver, giving Omaha the 1-0 victory.
