In the bottom of the fourth, Seth Brown launched a two-run homer to right-center, and Jones added a 406-foot grand slam to center later in the inning for the 7-1 lead.<\/p>\n
RailRiders pitchers did the rest, as Danny Watson, Zach Messinger, Dylan Coleman, Rafael Montero, Kervin Castro and Bradley Hanner combined on a six-hitter \u2014 allowing one run and one walk while striking out 10.<\/p>\n
