The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders split a doubleheader with the Buffalo Bisons at Sahlen Field on Sunday afternoon, winning game one 5-4 in 10 innings before dropping game two 7-3.<\/p>\n
In game one, the RailRiders opened the scoring with a run in the top of the third on a Spencer Jones RBI knock, but the Bisons leveled the game in the home half of the inning on a sac fly.<\/p>\n
Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre plated two in the fourth. Ernesto Martinez Jr. doubled, stole third and scored on a wild pitch for a 2-1 edge. Jasson Dominguez singled home Ali Sanchez to extend the advantage. Buffalo evened the score in the fifth when two runs scored on an error charged to Martinez Jr.<\/p>\n
Both teams were held in check in the sixth and seventh, and then once again in the eighth. Dominguez drove in a second run with a single in the top of the ninth, but the Bisons again countered to even the game at 4-4.<\/p>\n
In the 10th, Max Schuemann doubled home Oswaldo Cabrera for a 5-4 lead. Danny Watson retired all three batters he faced in the bottom half to seal the win.<\/p>\n
Yankees No. 2 prospect Carlos Lagrange notched three strikeouts over four innings in his Triple-A debut. Yovanny Cruz (1-0) worked two innings for the win while Watson earned the save in his level debut. Jorge Acala (0-1) took the loss for the Bisons.<\/p>\n
Five players had multi-hit games for the RailRiders, paced by three hits and two runs batted in from Dominguez.<\/p>\n
In game two, Jones kickstarted the offense with his first home run of the season, a 394-foot drive to the bullpens in right. Yanquiel Fernandez doubled the lead with a second-inning solo home run, his second of the season.<\/p>\n
Buffalo cut into the deficit with a run on a wild pitch in the third and took the lead with six runs in the fourth, keyed by two Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre errors and run-scoring hits from Riley Tirotta and Josh Kasevich for a 7-2 advantage.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders got a run back in the fifth on an RBI groundout, capping the scoring.<\/p>\n
Deveraux Harrison (1-0) earned the win with three innings of relief while Dom Hamel (0-1) took the loss after allowing seven runs, five earned, on six hits over 3.2 innings.<\/p>\n
Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre continues its nine-game road trip on Tuesday in Rochester with a 4:05 p.m. first pitch. The RailRiders host the Durham Bulls at PNC Field on April 7 to begin their 2026 home schedule.<\/p>\n
