The Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders walked-off the Durham Bulls 5-4 on Thursday night at PNC Field. Ali S\u00e1nchez played hero with a moon shot to left field in the bottom of the ninth inning.<\/p>\n
Once again, Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre got on the board first in the first frame. Jasson Dom\u00ednguez and Oswaldo Cabrera led off the contest with back-to-back singles. A pair of groundouts from Spencer Jones and Seth Brown pushed runners across for a 2-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
Yankees No. 22 prospect Brendan Beck was stellar to start the contest sitting down the first eleven batters he faced and racking up six strikeouts.<\/p>\n
In the fifth, Durham started gaining momentum. A ground rule double and a base hit put two in scoring position. Tampa Bay\u2019s No. 3 prospect Jacob Melton stole home to score the Bulls first run of the game. A two-run two-bagger off the bat of Victor Mesa Jr. made it 3-2.<\/p>\n
SWB rallied back in the next inning led off by a Paul DeJong double. Jonathan Ornelas followed with a single to put two aboard. A third straight knock from Dom\u00ednguez plated DeJong to tie things up. Max Schuemann\u2019s RBI single gave the RailRiders a 4-3 lead.<\/p>\n
Reliever Angel Chivilli retired every hitter he faced to keep SWB on top. Yovanny Cruz (W, 3-0)(BS, 1) took on the ninth and walked Carson Williams to start the frame. Williams raced to third on a pickoff error from Cruz. A fielder\u2019s choice allowed him to score to knot the contest up at four.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t over as the home team had the bottom of the ninth to work with. Durham\u2019s Chris Clark (L, 0-1) struck out the first two batters swinging. Down to their final out, S\u00e1nchez stepped up to the plate. After taking a first pitch strike, he hammered a curveball deep to left field to walk off the game 5-4.<\/p>\n
Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre continues the series with a doubleheader tomorrow against the Bulls. First pitch for game one is slated for 4:35 p.m. with Yankees No. 3 prospect Elmer Rodr\u00edguez on the mound. The game two starter is set to be Yankees No. 2 prospect Carlos Lagrange.<\/p>\n
