Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release


The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell to the Buffalo Bisons in the tenth inning by a score of 2-1. Estevan Florial homered for the 19th time this season in the loss.

After a stellar start from Tanner Tully that saw him retire the first eight batters faced, a pitching duel ensued between the Bisons Bullpen and the lefty.

In the bottom of the sixth, the RailRiders struck first by way of Estevan Florial. Florial launched a 403-ft solo shot that bounced off the bridge giving SWB a 1-0 lead. It was his 19th homer of the summer, the most he has had in one season in his career.

In the top of the ninth, Wynton Bernard drew a leadoff walk for Buffalo and advanced on a stolen base and errant throw. LJ Tally worked a walk and set runners up on first and third. Nathan Lukes hit an RBI double to drive in Bernard, tying it up at 1-1. The Bisons had runners on, but could not get a groundout ended the inning.

With Spencer Horwitz placed on second base, Davis Schneider drew a walk to start extras. A groundout advanced Horwitz and Schneider to scoring position. Jordan Luplow brought Schneider in with an RBI sacrifice fly giving Buffalo a 2-1 advantage.

Southpaw Tanner Tully was terrific, going six innings, allowing no runs on four hits with three strikeouts. Matt Krook went 1.2 innings scoreless with a pair of strikeouts. Michael Gomez tossed 2.1 innings gave up two runs, one earned, on a hit and three walks.

Kyle Johnston got the start for the Bisons in a bullpen game, going an inning without allowing a run. Hagen Danner and Brandon Eisert combined for three scoreless with Eisert striking out three. Hayden Juenger allowed the lone run for the RailRiders in two innings of work. Junior Fernández tallied a clean frame as well. Jimmy Burnette (W, 1-1) went 2.2 shutout innings with five strikeouts. Jay Jackson (S, 2) got the final out with a strikeout.

Friday marks Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's second Copa de la Diversión game of the 2023 season. The Vejigantes are scheduled for a 6:35 PM start.
