Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release


Moosic, Pa. - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) and My Network TV have added two games to their 2014 telecast schedule: the Monday, July 7 contest versus the Charlotte Knights (Chicago White Sox) and the Thursday July 10 doubleheader nightcap against the Rochester Red Wings (Minnesota Twins). The latter addition means both of Thursday's contests will get time on the regional television network along with a special between-games segment. Monday's telecast will start at 7 p.m. while the Thursday twinbill's coverage will begin at 5:30 p.m.

The Voice of the RailRiders, John Sadak, will handle the play-by-play for the additional two telecasts. He will be joined by his usual broadcast partner, Aaron Berlin. Minor league baseball's reigning Broadcaster of the Year per Ballpark Digest, Sadak is currently in his second season as SWB's lead broadcaster.
