RailRiders Stop Red Wings, 3-1

May 2, 2023 - International League (IL)
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders topped the Rochester Red Wings 3-1 on Tuesday night. It was a fantastic opener for the RailRiders with both hitting and pitching clicking. Kole Calhoun had a two-hit night in his first game in an SWB uniform.

The RailRiders got on the board first. Ben Rortvedt, on Major League rehab, singled to reach, but was replaced by Elijah Dunham in a fielder's choice. Andres Chaparro tripled to plate Dunham. Calhoun followed with his first hit to drive home Chaparro for a 2-0 lead.

Rochester cut the lead in half with a run in the second. Travis Blakenhorn doubled to reach and came home on Kevin Plawecki's two-bagger.

SWB added an insurance run in the eighth. Dunham singled and stole his fifth base of the season. Again, Calhoun sent in a run with his RBI double for a 3-1 advantage.

Tanner Tully (W, 2-1) got the start going 5.1 innings. The southpaw let up just one run on six hits. Aaron McGarity was able to get out of the sixth clean and tossed a quiet seventh. Colten Brewer threw his first frame with the RailRiders putting up a zero. Matt Bowman (S, 1) slammed the door shut for a 1-2-3 save.

Joan Adon (L, 1-3) tossed six frames out of the gate. He let up two runs on six hits. Gerson Moreno faced the minimum in the seventh. Jose Ferrer gave up one run in his inning of work on a pair of hits.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre takes on the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Field. Righty Mitch Spence tosses the first pitch at 6:35 PM.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Record: 11-17
