MOOSIC, PA. - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders took down the Syracuse Mets 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. Jake Lamb and Jamie Westbrook homered in the series finale victory.

Syracuse got on the board first in the top of the second when after a single and a walk, Pennsylvania native Brandon McIlwain singled in a run.

Carlos Cortes led off the top of the fourth with a solo shot to give the Mets a 2-0 lead.

SWB broke through in the bottom of the sixth when a pair of walks put two on with two outs for Jake Lamb. The lefty launched his first home run in a RailRiders uniform 352 feet. The three-run bomb gave the home team a 3-2 advantage.
