Brandon Beck pitched 5.2 innings of one-hit ball and the Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders converted a six-run fourth inning into a 7-0 win over the Syracuse Mets on Thursday in a STEM school day game at PNC Field in Moosic.<\/p>\n
Beck, the New York Yankees No. 21 prospect, allowed a first-inning base on balls and then the only other baserunner he allowed was a single from Christian Arroyo in the fourth inning. Beck tied a career-high nine strikeouts on 80 pitches.<\/p>\n
SWB got on the board early in the first inning when Marco Luciano doubled and Oswaldo Cabrera singled him home for a 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders pushed the lead to 3-0 lead in the fourth after three consecutive singles loaded the bases with nobody out and Jonathan Ornelas knocked in a pair with a hit and Duke Ellis reached on a fielder\u2019s choice to load them again. Then, Kenedy Corona\u2019s grand slam to left centerfield \u2014 his first as a RailRider \u2014 highlighted the fourth-inning outburst and made it 7-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brandon Beck pitched 5.2 innings of one-hit ball and the Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders converted a six-run fourth inning into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[51447,178,180,179,726],"class_list":["post-191949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-rail-riders","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191949","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=191949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
