SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRERAILRIDERS GAME REPORT
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre  2  -  Indianapolis  0 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MOOSIC, PA (May 7, 2019) – Chance Adams turned in his third straight quality start as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders downed the Indianapolis Indians 3-1 on Tuesday night at PNC Field. With the victory the RailRiders extended their season-best winning streak to six games.
After the game began in a one-hour, 57-minute delay owing to rain, Chance Adams took the mound for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was terrific. After a walk to the second batter of the game, the right-hander settled in and retired 11 consecutive Indianapolis batters before Jacob Stallings led off the fifth with a double.

That was the only hit allowed by Adams (2-1) in his 6.2 innings of work. He allowed only one more hit on the night – another double to Stallings – and retired eight of the final nine he faced. In his last three starts, the Scottsdale, Arizona native has combined to allow three runs on 10 hits, striking out 22 and walking only four in 18.0 innings pitched.

The RailRiders broke through against Indians starter Rookie Davis in the bottom of the fifth, when Matt Lipka doubled down the left field line to score Cliff Pennington. Trey Amburgey followed with a single to centerfield, plating Lipka and putting the RailRiders ahead 2-0. 
J.P. Feyereisen replaced Adams in the top of the seventh, and allowed a single to Kevin Kramer, chasing Stallings home with the first Indianapolis run of the contest. He settled down and spun a scoreless eighth to hold the SWB lead.
In the bottom of the seventh Ryan McBroom blasted a solo home run to right field to extend the Baby Bombers lead to 3-1. The round-tripper was McBroom’s seventh of the season, tying him with Gosuke Katoh for the most on the team. 

Cale Coshow threw a 1-2-3 frame in the top of the ninth to lock down his first save of the season and seal the win for the RailRiders. SWB pounded out 11 hits, led by a 3-for-4 effort from Mandy Alvarez, and has posted double-digit hits in six of its last seven contests.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre continues its series with Indianapolis on Wednesday night at 6:35 p.m. at PNC Field. The RailRiders start with opener RHP Chad Green (0-0, 0.00), while the Indians send RHP Mitch Keller (3-0, 3.48) to the bump. For tickets and more information, call (570) 969-BALL or slide to
