Niles, Ohio - The Scrappers scored early and often, scoring 13 runs on 13 hits in a blowout victory over the Staten Island Yankees.

Tony Wolters went 5-for-6 and Jerrud Sabourin drove in four runs in the victory.

Sabourin, Alex Lavisky and Todd Hankins had two-hit nights. Mahoning Valley scored in the first on an error by Staten Island shortstop Cito Culver.

Bryson Myles came home to make it 1-0, the first of his three runs scored in the game. The Scrappers took advantage of four Yankees errors, scoring eight unearned runs.

Sabourin drove in Hankins with a sacrifice fly in the second inning to make it 2-0 before the Yankees made it 2-1 with a run in the top of the third. The Scrappers scored four in the bottom of the third and five in the fourth to pull away.

The Yankees scored single runs in the final four innings to cut the deficit.

Wolters' five-hit night set a new season-high for hits in a game by a player this season. K.C. Serna previously had four hits in a game in early July.

Will Krasne picked up the win in relief for the Scrappers. He improved to 2-1. Yankees starter Richard Martinez picked up the loss, falling to 2-1.

The Scrappers and Yankees will play in the rubber match on Thursday night at 7:05 pm.
