Moosic, Pa. - The SWB RailRiders (Triple-A/ New York Yankees) lost a 6-3 decision to the Columbus Clippers on Thursday night at PNC Field. The RailRiders (30-21) settled for a 3-3 split of the season series with the Clippers (24-29).

J.P. Feyereisen (0-1) absorbed a tough loss in his Triple-A debut. The right-hander allowed two runs, one earned, and yielded two walks in his two innings behind starter Caleb Smith. Smith hurled a quality start, allowing two first-innings runs. He surrendered five hits, a walk and matched a season-high with nine strikeouts.

Trailing 2-0 in the home half of the first, SWB got on the board thanks to a two-run blast to right by Tyler Austin. By games end, Austin was 3-for-4 with singles in the third and eighth innings.

Columbus reclaimed the advantage against Feyereisen in the top of the seventh. Ruben Tejada launched a towering long ball out to left in the bottom of the frame. The Clippers plated two runs in the top of the ninth against reliever J.R. Graham to cap the scoring.

The 2016 Gildan Triple-A National Champion RailRiders host the Toledo Mud Hens (Detroit Tigers) 6:35 p.m. on Friday night. Right-hander Brady Lail (2-2, 4.99) is scheduled to start against right-hander Anibal Sanchez (0-2, 4.05). It's "Glow in the Park Night" with postgame fireworks. The RailRiders will also celebrate their 2016 championship season with a pregame ring ceremony on the field and a replica championship ring giveaway to the first 5,000 fans. Tom "Flash" Gordon will also be in the house as part of the summer-long Legends Series. For tickets or more information, please call 570-969-BALL (2255) or visit swbrailriders.com.
