The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders lost 5-3 to the Syracuse Mets Friday night at NBT Bank Stadium. The Mets used three home runs and a three-RBI night from Ji Hwan Bae to take game three of this six-game set.<\/p>\n
Syracuse opened the offense in the third. A Bae double off Carlos Lagrange drove in Nick Morabito and Ronny Mauricio for a 2-0 edge.<\/p>\n
Spencer Jones launched a 419-foot home run to right-center in the top of the fourth to halve the deficit, but the Mets countered with a Yonny Hernandez home run in the bottom of the inning to regain the two-run lead.<\/p>\n
Ronny Mauricio and Bae hit solo home runs off Danny Watson in the fifth to extend the Mets\u2019 advantage.<\/p>\n
Oswaldo Cabrera\u2019s solo home run to start the eighth narrowed the gap to three runs. In the ninth, Jasson Dominguez singled home Braden Shewmake, but Syracuse turned a game-ending double play to shut the door on the comeback.<\/p>\n
Lagrange (0-2) took the loss after allowing the first three runs on five hits over four innings with five strikeouts and a walk. Jack Wenninger (1-1) earned the win, and Daniel Duarte notched his first save.<\/p>\n
Dominguez and Shewmake paced the night with multi-hit efforts.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders and Mets meet for a doubleheader on Saturday starting at 12:35 p.m. Adam Kloffenstein and Dom Hamel start for Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre. Carl Edwards, Jr. and Bryce Conley get the ball for Syracuse.<\/p>\n
