Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release


MOOSIC, PA - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders hit five home runs as they defeated the Buffalo Bisons 10-1 Wednesday evening at PNC Field in a rain-shortened contest. Mike Ford and Trey Amburgey led the way with two home runs each.

The RailRiders got on the board in the bottom of the first when Ford led off with a home run. He hit a fastball from Bisons pitcher Ryan Feierabend onto the roof of the Budweiser Rail House in right field.

In the bottom of the second, Amburgey doubled and scored on a two-run homer from Logan Morrison, extending the RailRiders lead to 3-0. The red-hot Morrison has gone deep in five straight games at PNC Field.

Buffalo scratched across a run in the top of the third on an RBI double from Bo Bichette to cut Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's lead to 3-1. That was the only run Daniel Camarena allowed in 7.0 innings of work. The southpaw allowed only three hits and two walks while striking out a season-high nine batters.

With Tyler Wade and Clint Frazier on base in the bottom of the third, Amburgey smashed a three-run homer off Feierabend, growing the Baby Bombers lead to 6-1. Two innings later, Ford homered for the second time in the game, to put the RailRiders on top 7-1.

In the bottom of the sixth, Amburgey lead off with a home run against reliever David Garner. Later in the inning, Ford smacked a two-run double off the right field wall to extend the lead 10-1. The next batter, Breyvic Valera, was hit by a pitch leading to Garner being ejected from the game. Valera had to exit the contest as a result of being plunked.

J.P. Feyereisen threw a 1-2-3 top of the eighth, but before the bottom of the inning could start the tarp was called for and the game entered in a thirty-five-minute rain delay.

When play resumed, Rex Brothers replaced Feyereisen on the mound for the RailRiders. He threw a scoreless top of the ninth inning and the game ended 10-1.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will play a double-header against the Buffalo Bisons Thursday night. First pitch is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. For tickets and more information, call (570) 969-BALL or slide to www.swbrailriders.com/tickets.
