Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (72-52) vs. Rochester Red Wings (49-74) LHP JP Sears (6-0, 2.64 ERA) vs. RHP Steven Fuentes (0-4, 17.31 ERA) | Game 125 | Road Game 61 | Frontier Field | Rochester, NY | October 1, 2021 | First Pitch 6:05 p.m. | RECORD BREAKING SEASON: In the most unusual season in modern minor league baseball history, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders have done their part to re-write the franchise record book, breaking seven team single game or season-long records despite the shortened schedule. Here is a list of the known team records broken: Longest 9 inning game 4:09, 5/6 @ Syracuse Most Errors, single game 6, 9/29 at Rochester (tied) Most No-Hitters thrown, single season 2 (7/21 vs Rochester & 8/19 at Worcester) Most Strikeouts, single game (offense) 18, 8/5 vs Worcester (tied) Most Stolen Bases, single game 7, 6/29 at Worcester (tied) Most Stolen Bases, season 145 Most Walks, single game (pitching) 16, 7/28 @ Syracuse (tied) SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD: When Greg Allen stole second base in the sixth inning of game one of the doubleheader on September 25 with Syracuse, he recorded the 140th stolen base of the season for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, setting a new franchise record. In only 120 games, the team surpassed the previous record of 139 held by the 2000 SWB Red Barons, who needed 145 games to set the mark. Through 122 games, the RailRiders have stolen 145 bases in 184 attempts in the 2021 season (78.8% success). The pace of thievery has ticked up in September, with SWB currently 38-for-45 in steal attempts in 24 games during the month (1.58 steals/game). Andrew Velazquez leads the team with 29 stolen bases in 77 games, and Greg Allen (25) and Socrates Brito (23) have also recorded 20-or-more steals. With one more steal, Velazquez can become the first SWB player with 30 steals in a season since Brett Gardner stole 37 with the 2008 SWB Yankees. STOP HITTING ME!: A prevailing trend around professional baseball has been an uptick in hit batsmen this year, and the RailRiders hitters have not been immune. SWB batters have been plunked 96 times this season, the most of any Triple-A or Double-A team this year. Greg Allen leads the team with 18 HBP in 256 PA, while Rob Brantly and Derek Dietrich are tied for second with 14 each (in 257 and 160 PA, respectively). Max McDowell has been plunked 11 times in only 152 PA. An individual RailRiders batter has been hit by a pitch twice in a game six times this season, including Allen twice, a feat which ties a franchise record and had not been accomplished since 2016 (Cesar Puello, 4/27 vs Lehigh Valley). OFFENSIVE MARKS: At the end of the 2021 regular season, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders had a combined team on-base percentage of .353, which is the best mark in franchise history. It narrowly beats out the .351 OBP posted by the 2019 RailRiders, despite the team’s batting average being 23-points lower in 2021. This is only the fourth time in the 31-year history of the franchise that SWB has posted a team OBP of greater than .345. HOMERS THAT HELP: As part of The Final StretchTM, Minor League Baseball has announced that it will be donating $50 for each home run hit by each club to a charity within that club’s local community. The RailRiders are hitting home runs to benefit the Wyoming Valley Challenger Baseball. Through five Final StretchTM games, the RailRiders have hit nine home runs for a total donation thus far of $450. The Triple-A team which hits the most home runs during the final stretch will receive a $5,000 bonus for their designated organization. CLOSE CALLS & BLOWOUTS: The RailRiders have played an extraordinary number of close games this season, with 59 of SWB’s 124 games being decided by one or two runs (47.6%). Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has performed approximately average in these close contests, going 15-16 (.484) in one-run games and 16-12 (.571) in two-run games. However, the RailRiders have also participated in their share of extreme blowout games, decided by eight-or-more runs. In 13 such contests, SWB is 11-2 (.846) on the season, and is part of the reason why the team is +139 in run differential this season, the third-best mark in Triple-A East. EYES ON THE FINAL STRETCHTM PRIZE...WHATEVER IT IS: Unlike all other classifications, Triple-A does not have playoffs this year, with instead every team playing 10 extra games in the Triple-A Final Stretch. The Triple-A Final Stretch is a 10-game, 2-week “postseason tournament” which has already seen SWB host Syracuse for five games and concludes with the current series at Rochester. The team with the best overall record over the 10-game period will be dubbed the Final Stretch Champion and receive a prize that MLB has unbelievably still not announced despite the fact that Triple-A’s Final Stretch ends on Sunday. Team and individual statistics achieved during the Triple-A Final Stretch will be counted toward regular season numbers, making The Final Stretch a Schrödinger’s Cat paradox where it is both the postseason and the regular season at the same time.

Payton and Vientos homer, but Mets drop series opener to Bisons, 7-3, on Wednesday night Mark Payton watches his home run ball fly out of the ballpark on Wednesday night. Payton had two hits, including this two-run homer for Syracuse (Herm Card). Syracuse, NY - The Syracuse Mets lost the series opener to the Buffalo Bisons, 7-3, on Wednesday night at NBT Bank Stadium in a game that featured five home runs. One of those homers came off Syracuse third baseman Mark Vientos’s bat in the first inning, making it three home runs in his first nine Triple-A games. With the loss, the Mets move to 3-3 in the Triple-A Final Stretch while the Bisons improve to 5-1. Buffalo (76-47) put up four runs in the top of the first inning. Otto Lopez hit a one-out single, and then Kevin Smith hit an RBI double to make it a 1-0 Bisons advantage. Gregory Polanco followed with a single, scoring Smith to extend the lead to 2-0. Tyler White then stepped in and hit a two-run homer to put Buffalo ahead 4-0. Syracuse (50-72-1) got on the board in the bottom of the first thanks to a Vientos solo home run. His third Triple-A home run made it 4-1 with Buffalo still in front. The Bisons added a run in the top of the third when Smith hit a leadoff solo home run to give Buffalo a four-run lead again, 5-1. The Mets cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the third. Martin Cervenka worked a leadoff walk. Mark Payton then blasted a two-run homer down the right-field line to bring Syracuse within two, 5-3 Bisons. Buffalo, however, hit yet another home run, this time in the top of the fifth. Lopez hit a one-out double. Kevin Smith then grounded out for the second out of the inning, but Polanco followed with a two-run homer to give Buffalo a 7-3 lead. A bright spot for the Mets was their bullpen, which tallied four scoreless innings. Robert Gsellman in his Major League rehab assignment pitched a scoreless sixth. Yeizo Campos followed with a scoreless seventh, and Akeem Bostick didn’t allow a run in the eighth nor the ninth. Syracuse and Buffalo return to NBT Bank Stadium on Thursday for game two of the five-game series. Mets minor league pitcher of the year, right-hander Adam Oller, will take the mound for Syracuse against Buffalo left-hander Nick Allgeyer. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.

Syracuse beats Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, 5-1, on Sunday afternoon for series victory Moosic, PA - The Syracuse Mets won their final road game of the 2021 season with a 5-1 victory over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Sunday afternoon at PNC Field. After starting the season series 1-12 against the RailRiders, the Mets went 10-5 in their last 15 games against the RailRiders in 2021, including winning three of five games in this final series. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (70-52) scored the game's first run in the bottom of the first inning. With one out, Oswaldo Cabrera hit a solo home run over the right-field wall to give the RailRiders a 1-0 lead. The homer was Cabrera’s third long ball in five Triple-A games with the RailRiders. That run was the only one allowed by Syracuse starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff. The 31-year-old pitched five innings, allowed four hits, one run, and struck out six batters. Eickhoff was the winning pitcher and now has a 9-2 record on the mound for Syracuse in 2021. Syracuse (50-71-1) tied the game in the top of the second. Chance Sisco led off with a walk, and Cheslor Cuthbert singled to put runners at first and second base. Drew Jackson then bunted into a fielder’s choice where Sisco advanced to third and Jackson was safe at first, but Cuthbert was out at second base. Mason Williams followed with a groundout to second base, but Sisco scored from third base on the play to knot the game up, 1-1. The Mets took the lead in the third. With one out, Mark Vientos singled. Khalil Lee followed with a double to the wall in right-center field that scored Vientos to give the Mets a 2-1 advantage. Syracuse extended its edge in the fifth. With one out, Travis Blankenhorn singled, and Vientos walked, putting runners at first and second base. Two batters later, with two outs, Brandon Drury launched a three-run home run over the left-field wall to give Syracuse a four-run lead, 5-1. The Mets’ bullpen shut down the RailRiders. Jesús Reyes pitched three scoreless innings, and Yeizo Campos pitched a scoreless ninth as Syracuse beat Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, 5-1, to win the five-game series, three games to two. Syracuse is off on Monday and Tuesday before returning to the field at NBT Bank Stadium on Wednesday evening for the final series of the 2021 season. The Mets begin a five-game series against the Buffalo Bisons with first pitch on Wednesday scheduled for 6:35 p.m. in Syracuse.

Mets split Saturday doubleheader with RailRiders, Noah Syndergaard delivers another scoreless inning in rehab start Noah Syndergaard struck out two batters and pitched a scoreless inning in a Major League rehab assignment with Syracuse on Saturday (Todd Hiller). Moosic, PA - The Syracuse Mets split a Saturday doubleheader with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at PNC Field, losing the first game, 4-0, before scoring four runs in the sixth inning of game two en route to a 6-3 win. In game one, Noah Syndergaard made his second Major League rehab start for Syracuse. Syndergaard pitched another scoreless frame, allowing one hit with no walks while striking out two batters.

While Cabrera struck out, LaMarre swiped second base. That brought up Greg Allen, who hit an RBI single to make it a 4-0 RailRiders advantage, which was the final score. In game two, the RailRiders struck first again, this time in the third inning where Estevan Florial gave Scranton/Wilkes-Barre a 1-0 lead with a leadoff home run.

After Wilfredo Tovar struck out, Drew Jackson hit a go-ahead, two-run homer to give the Mets a 2-1 lead. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tied the game up in the bottom of the fifth with Florial’s second home run of the game, a solo shot to make it a 2-2 game.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre made things interesting, however, in the bottom of the seventh. Florial hit a leadoff single, and then with Cabrera at the plate, Florial stole second base. After Cabrera worked a walk, Chris Gittens popped out. Then Rob Brantly hit a one-out single to load the bases. LaMarre followed with a walk with the bases loaded to bring home Florial and bring the RailRiders within three, 6-3 Mets. Tom Hackimer then came out of the bullpen to replace Stephen Nogosek.
