LHP Shinnosuke Ogasawara (1-1, 6.30) vs. RHP Sean Boyle (0-2, 8.10)

SOGGY WINGS: On a rainy Friday night in Moosic, Pennsylvania, The Rochester Red Wings fell in a back-and-forth, 11-inning contest in walk-off fashion to the Scranton/WB RailRiders, 8-7...five Red Wings hitters turned in multi-hit performances in the loss and the offense combined for a season-high 14 hits and six extra-base hits, including a homer off the bat of RF ANDREW PINCKNEY for the second-straight contest...on the mound, six relievers combined to hold the RailRiders to just three hits from the fifth inning on, led by 1.2 perfect innings from RHP CARLOS ROMERO ...the Red Wings look to tie up the series at two games apiece later today, sending LHP SHINNOSUKE OGASAWARA to the mound against RailRiders right-hander Sean Boyle...

This marked the Red Wings first 11-inning contest against the RailRiders at PNC Field since 5/21/2017, a game that was won by Scranton/WB on a walk-off bunt from Rochester native Cito Culver.

IT'S NO HASSELL: CF ROBERT HASSELL III picked up two more hits last night to extend his team-leading hitting streak to six games, going 2-for-7 with a double and a run scored...the Tennessee native has now turned in back-to-back multi-hit performances, and carries a .350 batting average (7-for-20) away from Innovative Field...

Hassell III is the first Red Wing with seven at-bats in a game since Wilin Rosario on 4/13/2019 in a 20-18 win over LHV.

A six game hitting streak is tied for the second-longest active streak in the International League.

PINCK PANTHER: RF ANDREW PINCKEY smoked his second home run in as many games last night, going 2-for-6 with a solo shot and a single...the homer came off the bat at 109.8 MPH and carried over the right field fence the other way, the hardest-hit opposite field home run by a Red Wing since the beginning of the 2023 season...Pinckney is the first Rochester hitter with multiple homers this season...

This is the first time the University of Alabama product has homered in back-to-back games since 8/6-8 in 2023 with Single-A Fredericksburg.

JUST HOW WE DREW IT UP: DH DREW MILLAS reached base four times in the loss last night, and finished 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two walks, two runs scored, and a stolen base...he has now turned in back-to-back multi-hit performances and carries a .423 batting average (11-for-26) through the first six games of April, tied for second-best in the International League...

In April, the switch-hitting catcher also ranks among the league-leaders in slugging percentage (1st, .846), triples (1st, 3), RBI (2nd, 10), OPS (2nd, 1.313), and total hits (T-2nd, 12).

HOUSE CALL: 3B BRADY HOUSE turned in his team-leading fifth multi-hit game of the season last night with two more hits, including an RBI double to cap off a 2-for-6 line while adding a run scored...the Georgia native has now collected a hit in eight of 11 games this season, and his five extra-base hits trails only DREW MILLAS (6) for most on the team.

WHO SAID CATCHERS CAN'T HIT: C ANDREW KNIZNER tallied his first multi-hit game of the season last night, and first of his career in the International League after playing 110 games in the Pacific Coast League from 2018-19 & 2024...through 11 games, the starting catcher in the Red Wings lineup carries a .371 batting average (13-for-35) with a Triple-A-best .500 on-base percentage.

HIT PARADE: The Red Wings offense collected a season-high 14 hits last night, their second-most in an April road game since they became a Nationals affiliate in 2021 (15 on 4/23/24 at STP)...this is also the eighth time in the Nats era that Rochester has put up at least 14 hits in a loss, and first time since 5/9/2024, also at Scranton/WB...

Their six extra-base hits are also a season-high, and most in a loss since 8/7/2024 (G2) at BUF.
