The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders rallied from a three-run deficit to tie the game in the ninth inning, but Allan Castro\u2019s home run in the bottom of the 12th gave Worcester a 10-8 win Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Trailing, 7-4, in the ninth, Oswaldo Cabrera doubled and scored on a Seth Brown triple. Brown was balked home to cut the WooSox lead to one. With two outs, Ellis walked and stole second. Kenedy Corona\u2019s first RailRiders hit was a double to drive in Ellis to tie the game at 7.<\/p>\n
It stayed that way until the 11th when each team netted a run on sacrifice fly outs.<\/p>\n
After catcher\/ first baseman Nathan Hickey retired Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre in the top of the 12th, Castro lined a homer to right in the bottom of the frame to end the game.<\/p>\n
Worcester took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Braiden Ward was hit by a pitch, stole second, advanced to third on an error and scored on a Nick Sogard single.<\/p>\n
Duke Ellis gave Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre a 3-1 lead in the top of the second with his first home run of the season, a 356-foot blast right.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox tied the game bottom of the second on a pair of run-scoring groundouts.<\/p>\n
An Anthony Volpe sacrifice fly scored Ellis in the top of the fourth to give the RailRiders a 4-3 lead, but again, Worcester responded quickly. Former Yankees minor leaguer Anthony Seigler hit a solo home run to tie the game at 4, and Tsung-Che Cheng\u2019s sacrifice fly gave the WooSox a 5-4 lead.<\/p>\n
Ward walked to lead off the bottom of the eighth, stole second, and scored on an error to extend the Worcester lead to 6-4.<\/p>\n
Matt Lloyd added a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth for a 7-4 edge.<\/p>\n
Catcher Edinson Duran (0-1) pitched the final 2.1 innings for the RailRiders and took the loss. Hickey (1-0) garnered the win.<\/p>\n
Ellis, who had four hits, was a triple shy of the cycle. Brown also had four hits for SWB.<\/p>\n
Anthony Volpe, who was recently sent down from New York following a rehab assignment, went 1 for 6 with a pair of strikeouts to see his batting average drop to .226 in Triple-A this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders rallied from a three-run deficit to tie the game in the ninth inning, but Allan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179,726],"class_list":["post-187437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
