Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release

MOOSIC, PA -The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (76-62) cruised to an 8-2 win over the Worcester Red Sox on Friday night. Every batter in the lineup reached base at least once as the RailRiders have guaranteed at least a series split this week with the victory.

SWB got to work quickly against Worcester starter Chris Murphy, scoring a run on a Ryan LaMarre groundout in the first. They exploded for the six runs in the home half of the second. Chris Owings launched a two-run home run, his third long ball in his last four games. Armando Alvarez singled home a pair in the inning as well. The RailRiders led 7-0 after two innings.

Jhony Brito got the start for SWB, his second since returning from the injured list. He faced six batters in 1.2 innings, striking out one and allowing one hit. The WooSox tallied a pair in the third inning against Matt Krook to cut the lead to 7-2. Krook struck out three batters in three innings. He now has 147 strikeouts on the season which is five shy of matching the all-time Scranton/Wilkes-Barre record of 152 set by Carlton Loewer during the 1997 season.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre added a run in the sixth as Anthony Volpe touched home on an error for an 8-2 advantage. SWB used seven pitchers to complete the victory, walking just one batter all night. Krook (9-7) went the longest, three innings, and got the win. Murphy (3-6) was saddled with the loss.

On Saturday at PNC Filed, the first 2,500 fans through the gates will receive an SWB RailRiders Trapper Hat. The RailRiders send Sean Boyle to the mound for a 6:05 first pitch on the final Saturday game at PNC Field this season. Tickets are available at swbrailriders.com.
