RailRiders Split Double Dip

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release

TOLEDO, OH - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders set the tone early Friday night with 10 runs and 13 hits in the opener, but a dominant pitching by the Toledo Mud Hens stifled the SWB offense as the two teams split Friday's doubleheader at Fifth Third Field.

Game one belonged to the RailRiders, with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre opening up a 7-0 lead in the top of the 6th inning before the Mud Hens rallied to put five runs on the board over the final two frames. The first game featured a two-run home run by Brad Miller in the 2nd inning to give the RailRiders a 2-0 lead. An inning later, Mike Ford hit a ball out of Fifth Third Field entirely that skittered between two warehouses in right field, enjoying the rest of the evening out on the town in Downtown Toledo. Consecutive doubles by Breyvic Valera and Mike Tauchman plated another run, with a sac fly from Miller extending the lead as Miller touched the plate.

The 5-0 lead through 2.5 innings was more than enough for Adonis Rosa who shone over the first six innings. Though tagged for five runs (three earned runs), he controlled the game and allowed the RailRiders to settle in and grow their early lead. Entering the final inning, he hadn't allowed an earned run and SWB wanted to see him complete his night with a complete game effort. Cale Coshow entered instead and stuck out Harold Castro to put the finishing touches on the victory 10-5.

In game two, Toledo scored four times with two outs in the top of the 4th inning, en route to a 5-0 win. Tim Adelman allowed just one hit over 6.0 shutout innings before handing the ball off to Zac Houston for the final frame. The game marked the first time in 2019 that the RailRiders were shutout. The only two hits in the game came from Ryan Lavarnway (1-for-3) and Logan Morrison (1-for-3).

The RailRiders and Mud Hens return to action Saturday night with a 5:05 p.m. first pitch as RHP Brody Koerner (0-0, 9.00) takes the ball for SWB in his second start of the season in Triple-A. Pregame coverage with Adam Marco and Adam Giardino begins at 4:35 p.m. on the RailRiders Radio Network.
