SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE RAILRIDERS GAME REPORT

Lehigh Valley  10  -  Scranton/Wilkes-Barre  7

IronPigs break tie in the bottom of the 7^th inning with four runs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ALLENTOWN, PA (June 30, 2019) – Logan Morrison delivered another big swing for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Sunday afternoon, but it was a decisive four-run bottom of the seventh inning for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs that was the difference in a 10-7 win for the ‘Pigs.
The RailRiders plated a run in the first inning but saw Lehigh Valley tie it with a solo home run by Nick Williams in the second inning, and the game was 1-1 entering the fourth inning.
The fourth featured an RBI infield single from a speedy version of Mike Ford who beat the throw from second baseman Ali Castillo in shallow right-centerfield. The hustle allowed Erik Kratz to blaze his way home from second base before the defense could react to throw out the blur at the plate. Following a hit by pitch to Breyvic Valera, Tyler Wade singled home both Ford and Valera for a 4-1 lead.
Lehigh Valley immediately jumped ahead by plating four runs in the bottom of the inning, and with a run in the fifth it was a 6-4 IronPigs lead. The score remained the same entering the seventh to set up Morrison’s heroics, but that swing was quickly overshadowed by the resilient ‘Pigs offense in the bottom of the inning to open up a 10-6 lead en route to a 10-7 victory.
The RailRiders pile on the bus and head north to the Ocean State to take on the Pawtucket Red Sox beginning Monday night with a 6:05 p.m. first pitch. LHP Daniel Camarena (2-3, 6.71) is expected to take on RHP Erasmo Ramirez (2-4, 4.85) in the first of three games in the Yankees-Red Sox Triple-A rivalry. The RailRiders return to PNC Field Thursday, July 4 for the annual Independence Day game with incredible postgame fireworks.
