WORCESTER, MA -The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (40-44) dropped the Sunday finale to the Worcester Red Sox 8-3. The loss ended a four-game win streak while SWB still won the series over the WooSox.

Worcester tagged Ken Waldichuk for three runs in the first inning. Waldichuk threw 34 pitches and faced eight batters in the inning. It was keyed by a Ryan Fitzgerald three-run homer, his 16th longball of the season. The two teams would trade solo shots in the second inning. Jake Bauers hit his second of the series. Connor Wong responded for the Sox in the bottom half.

Waldichuk lasted just two innings, tied for the second-shortest of his career.
