Buffalo scored two runs in the top of the 11th inning Saturday for a 4-2 victory over the Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at PNC Field in Moosic.<\/p>\n
With the score tied, 2-2, former RailRider Ismail Munguia started the top of the 11th on second base as the automatic runner. He advanced to third on a single by Josh Kasevich. One out later, pinch-hitter R.J. Schreck hit a sacrifice fly to left that scored Munguia and sent Kasevich to second. Willie MacIver followed with an RBI single to score Kasevich and make it 4-2.<\/p>\n
Tanner Edwards came out of the Bisons bullpen and retired the RailRiders in order in the bottom of the 11th to close out the win.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders (17-14) had their chances throughout, but left 12 runners on base and were 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n
It spoiled a solid start by Brendan Beck, who went seven innings and allowed two runs on five hits with one walk and four strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Munguia gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead in the top of the third with an RBI single. But the RailRiders tied it in the bottom of the inning on a two-out home run by Yanquiel Fernandez, his sixth of the season.<\/p>\n
Fernandez gave the RailRiders a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth, again with two outs. George Lombard Jr., Spencer Jones and Fernandez had consecutive singles, the latter scoring Lombard Jr. from second.<\/p>\n
However, the Bisons answered in the top of the sixth. Rafael Lantigua led off with a double. Munguia sacrificed him to third, and Kasevich scored him with a single.<\/p>\n
In the bottom of the 10th, the RailRiders had a chance to win it, loading the bases with two outs. But Brendon Little got Ali Sanchez to ground out and send the game to the 11th inning.<\/p>\n
