Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release

MOOSIC, PA - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated the Buffalo Bisons 6-4 Tuesday night at PNC Field. A three-run fourth inning gave the RailRiders a lead they would not relinquish, winning the opening contest against the Bisons.

Caleb Durbin crushed a solo homer to left off Bison's starting pitcher Paulo Espino in the bottom of the first, giving the RailRiders an early 1-0 edge.

The Bisons answered in the top of the second. Luis De Los Santos smashed a 415-foot three-run homer to center off SWB starting pitcher Tanner Tully for a 3-1 lead.

The RailRiders reclaimed the advantage in the bottom of the fourth. T.J. Rumfield doubled home Oswald Peraza, pulling Scranton/Wilkes-Barre within one and Cam Eden singled in Rumfield to tie the contest. Greg Allen's RBI double put SWB ahead at 4-3.

In the next frame, Durbin worked a walk and raced to third on a throwing error. Peraza singled him home to give the RailRiders a two-run advantage.

After a short delay before the sixth, Tully was lifted for RailRider reliever Oddanier Mosqueda. Mosqueda surrendered a solo homer to Rafael Lantigua, making it a one-run game at 5-4.

SWB plated an insurance run in the seventh when Taylor Trammell singled home Yankee #1 Prospect Jasson Domínguez to cap the scoring at 6-4.

Tully (W, 2-6) pitched five innings, allowing three runs on two hits. Espino (L, 1-5) tossed 4.0 innings, surrendering four runs on five hits. Nick Burdi and Tim Mayza each worked clean innings to hold the lead. Scott Effross (S, 1) earned the save.
