Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release
SYRACUSE, NY - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell 11-8 to the Syracuse Mets on Friday night. SWB had an early advantage but the home team rallied back to snap the RailRiders win streak.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre took ahold of the momentum early. Major League Rehabber Jon Berti led off the game with a base hit and Ben Rice followed with one of his own. Then, Oswald Peraza slugged a three-run blast for his 10th homer of the season.
JC Escarra made it three straight contests with a home run thanks to a solo shot in the next frame. In the third, Jasson Domínguez notched a single and Ben Rice went yard with a blast to right field making it 6-0. Oswald Peraza, Jorbit Vivas, and T.J. Rumfield had three consecutive hits to keep the line moving. JC Escarra recorded a sacrifice fly for an 8-0 advantage.
The script flipped in the fifth inning for the Mets. Syracuse knocked in nine runs on eight hits sending a dozen to the plate. Mets #3 prospect Drew Gilbert rocketed a three-run homer off of Will Warren. Carlos Cortes had a solo shot off of Jesus Liranzo to get within one. And teammate Yolmer Sanchez had a two-run bomb to complete the rally for a 9-8 lead.
Syracuse added another in the sixth on an RBI single from Luke Ritter and one more in the eighth to make it 11-8. Meanwhile, the RailRiders couldn't connect as they did not record a hit from the fourth frame through the end of the game.
The RailRiders continue their series against the Mets on Saturday evening in Syracuse. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre returns to PNC Field for the final homestand of the season on Tuesday, September 10th against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Tickets are available at www.swbrailriders.com.
