Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release
TRENTON, N.J. - In their first extra-inning game of the season, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated the Buffalo Bisons 6-4 in 10 innings on Saturday night at Trenton Thunder Ballpark.
The RailRiders fell behind early as the Bisons plated two runs in the bottom of the first against Nick Green on a pair of back-to-back RBI doubles. Buffalo tallied two more in the second to jump out to an early 4-0 lead.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre got on the board in the top of the fourth when a sacrifice fly from Socrates Brito scored Hoy Park to cut the deficit to 4-1. The RailRiders added two more in the fifth on a two-run single from Trey Amburgey.
Amburgey finished the game 2-for-5, extending his season-long hitting streak to 17 games, the longest hitting streak in Triple-A East this season. Dating back to the end of the 2019 season, Amburgey has hits in 19 consecutive contests, and has reached base safely in 25 straight.
In the top of the sixth, Armando Alvarez cracked a one-out double and scored on a base-hit by Kellin Deglan to tie the game at 4-4. The RailRiders catcher had a strong night at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
Reggie McClain, Braden Bristo and Nick Goody combined to throw 6.0 innings of scoreless relief for the RailRiders after Green exited following 3.0 innings of work to force the game into extra innings.
Automatic runner Andrew Velazquez stole third base in the top of the tenth and came home to score on a wild pitch by Hobie Harris (0-1) with two outs in the frame. Brito followed with an RBI single to put the RailRiders on top 6-4.
Goody (3-1) set the Bisons down in order in the bottom of the tenth to close out the extra-inning victory. The win was the second come-from-behind victory of the series for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, which also erased a five-run deficit on Tuesday night.
