Syracuse (13-21) struck first in the top of the first inning. With two outs, Palka worked a full count before launching a solo home run over the wall in left-center field for a 1-0 Mets lead.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (12-22) responded in the bottom of the first. Estevan Florial led off with a double. With Oswald Peraza batting, Florial stole third base. Peraza then struck out for the first out of the frame. Next, with Miguel Andújar at the plate, a wild pitch allowed Florial to score and tie the game up, 1-1.

The RailRiders took the lead in the third. Evan Alexander led off with a walk, and Florial followed with a single to put runners at first and second base. A Peraza single to left field brought home Alexander to put the RailRiders in front, 2-1.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre extended its lead in the fifth when Armando Alvarez led off with a solo home run down the left-field line, giving the RailRiders a 3-1 edge. Alvarez only has nine hits this season but five of them are extra-base hits.
