MOOSIC, PA - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell to the Rochester Red Wings in the series opener Monday night, 10-6.

The Red Wings took an early lead in the contest with a triple on a line drive in the top of the third and a run by Drew Maggi, who scored on a LaMonte Wade sacrifice fly to right Fielder Trey Amburgey who made it a close play at the plate, but the throw was a little late in getting to Ryan Lavarnway at home.

The RailRiders retaliated with Cliff Pennington's sac fly to left fielder Ronald Torreyes, putting a tally on the board when Billy Burns touched home to make it 2-1. One inning later Luke Raley homered on a line drive to right center field for Rochester in the top of the fourth, bringing the score to 3-1.

The score remained the same until the seventh inning when Torreyes, the third batter of the frame, knocked a three-run home run into the left field bullpen extending the Red Wings lead, 6-1. Rochester went on to score twice more in the inning and take an 8-1 lead.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre scored 5 runs in the seventh, including a Trey Amburgey grand slam, to make it 8-6. Brad Miller even came to bat in the inning with a runner aboard, representing the tying run, but he struck out to end the threat with Rochester still leading 8-6.

Rochester remained on top throughout the eighth inning despite Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's attempt at a comeback, adding to its lead with a pair of run-scoring walks in the frame to make it 10-6. After opening up a four-run advantage, Rochester's bullpen retired the final six men it faced to secure the win.

The RailRiders will play the second game of the four-game series Tuesday night against Rochester. First pitch of the game is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. For tickets and more information, call (570) 969-BALL or slide to www.swbrailriders.com/tickets.
