The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders shut out the Syracuse Mets 7-0 in their Wednesday STEM school day contest.<\/p>\n
They were boosted by a great start from Yankees No. 21 prospect Brendan Beck and a six-run fourth inning highlighted by a Kenedy Corona grand slam.<\/p>\n
SWB got on the board early in the first inning. Marco Luciano doubled to reach and Oswaldo Cabrera singled him home for a 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders found their offense in the fourth frame. The RailRiders had three consecutive singles to load the bases with nobody out. Jonathan Ornelas knocked in a pair with his own hit and Duke Ellis reached on a fielder\u2019s choice to load them again.<\/p>\n
Corona smashed a slider to left center field for a grand slam, his first homer as a RailRider to make it 7-0 in favor of Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Beck impressed going 5.2 innings of one-hit ball. After walking a batter in the first, the only other baserunner he allowed was a single from Christian Arroyo in the fourth frame. Beck tied a career-high nine strikeouts on 80 pitches.<\/p>\n
Brad Hanner finished the sixth inning and tossed a clean seventh, throwing ten pitches all for strikes. Kervin Castro took the team through the final two frames and struck out five batters to help seal the victory.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders continue their week-long series against Syracuse on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
Adam Kloffenstein is set for the first pitch against Mets top prospect Jonah Tong.<\/p>\n
