MOOSIC, PA - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell 7-4 to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs on Sunday afternoon. The teams split the series with three wins apiece.

The IronPigs struck first with three runs in the fourth inning. A two-run double from Scott Kingery and an RBI single for Nick Podkul put the visitors on the board.

SWB countered quickly with one in the bottom half. After a leadoff double from Everson Pereira, Jose Rojas punched a sacrifice fly to drive him home.

Darick Hall followed quickly with a leadoff homer to right to take the run right back.

In the bottom of the fifth, Luis Gonzalez roped a double and scored easily on Pereira's first triple of the season. A ground ball off the bat of T.J. Rumfield allowed Pereira to cross making it 4-3 IronPigs.

Lehigh Valley posted another in the next frame. With the bases loaded McKinley Moore hit a batter to bring in a run for a 5-3 deficit.

The visitors tacked on two more off of Weston Wilson's long ball to left center field, winning the contest 7-3.
