Woo Sox Slip Past Wings Friday Night
July 1, 2022 - International League (IL)
Rochester Red Wings News Release
The Rochester Red Wings fell to the Worcester Red Sox for the fourth time in as many games, losing 5-4 in Friday night's contest at Frontier Field.
RHP Cory Abbott gave up five hits and four unearned runs in his second outing against Worcester this season. Abbott logged a season-high of four innings pitched in the loss.
Worcester poured it on in the first, opening up a 4-0 lead on the Red Wings. Both teams remained scoreless until the seventh inning when an RBI triple from CF Andrew Stevenson scored 3B Jecksson Flores. SS Ildemaro Vargas contributed with a sacrifice fly, scoring Stevenson to make it 4-2.
Sharp gave up a crushing homer in the eighth to put the Sox back up by three runs, but Rochester made it a one run game when C Taylor Gushue hit an RBI double that scored 2B Jake Noll and DH Donovan Casey. With a chance to walk it off in the bottom of the ninth, 1B Joey Meneses grounded into a double play to conclude the contest in the Woo Sox's favor.
Friday's loss knocked Rochester out of a three-team tie for third place in the International League with Jacksonville and Worcester, dropping to sixth in the IL-East as the Wings sit just four losses away from .500.
Game five of the series is set for 7:05 p.m. on Saturday night as the Wings look to snap their four-game skid. RHP Logan Verrett will toe the rubber for Rochester.
