Norfolk Tides News Release
MOOSIC, P.A. - The Norfolk Tides (32-30) lost the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (37-25), 10-7, on Saturday night at PNC Field. The Tides held a 7-1 lead going into the seventh, but gave up nine runs in the final three innings and fell to the RailRiders.
For the fourth straight game, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre opened the scoring up, taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when ¬âJasson Domínguez launched a solo home run over the right field wall. After not scoring for the first two innings, the Tides knotted the game up at 1-1 in the top of the third when Jackson Holliday took a 1-0 pitch from Edgar Barlcay 376 feet over the right-center field wall for his seventh long ball of the season.
In the fifth inning Connor Pavolony led off by collecting his first Triple-A hit, a double to left field, before Heston Kjerstad was hit by a pitch. That set up Billy Cook, who launched a go-ahead, three run home run 403 feet over the left field wall to give the Tidse a 4-1 advantage. In in the ensuing at bat, Daniel Johnson roped his 11th home run of the season, extending Norfolk's lead to 5-1.
The Tides further added on to their lead in the top of the seventh. Following a leadoff walk to Kjerstad, Cook roped an RBI single to bring him in and make it 6-1 Norfolk. Hudson Haskin made it 7-1 in the ensuing at bat when his sacrifice fly out plated Cook.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre started their comeback in the bottom of the seventh on an RBI single from Elijah Dunham. Oswald Peraza made it 7-3 Norfolk when he also collected an RBI single that drove in Josh VanMeter, and when Ben Rice scored on an error in the eighth, Norfolk's lead slimmed down to 7-4. Then a Greg Allen RBI single made it 7-5, and a wild pitch allowed Gonzalez to come home and cut the deficit all the way to 7-6 Tides. After Taylor Trammell's double tied it up in the ninth, Greg Allen launched a three-run homer to walk off the Tides and take down Norfolk 10-7.
The Tides will take on the RailRiders tomorrow night in the final game of their six-game series. The Tides will start RHP Brandon Young (1-0, 3.60), while LHP Tanner Tully (1-4, 6.34) will take the mound for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. First pitch is 1:05 p.m.
