The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated the Lehigh Valley IronPigs 5-4 on Sunday in the series finale in Allentown. SWB took it down to the wire, scoring the winning run in the ninth to split the week with the rival IronPigs.<\/p>\n
Lehigh Valley started the offense in the second inning after loading the bases. A fielding error and a wild pitch allowed the first two runs to score before Steward Berroa drove in one of his own for a 3-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders got on the board in the next frame to cut the lead to 3-2. Payton Henry and Kenedy Corona singled to reach before Yankees No. 1 prospect George Lombard Jr. recorded a pair of RBIs along with his own knock.<\/p>\n
In the fourth frame, SWB went to work. Henry reached on an error and moved into scoring position on a Duke Ellis hit. After Corona utilized a sacrifice bunt to get him 90 feet from home, Lombard pushed a sacrifice fly to right field to score Henry as the tying run.<\/p>\n
The score remained tied until the eighth inning when Felix Reyes doubled in a run to give the home team the lead.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders bounced back down to their final out in the top of the ninth. Corona singled to reach and Lombard worked a walk. Yanquiel Fern\u00e1ndez notched his first hit of the game, a double, to plate them both making it 5-4.<\/p>\n
Yankees No. 21 prospect Brendan Beck tossed a quality start, going six and a third frames. He allowed just three runs, two earned, on 84 pitches. Brad Hanner (W, 3-0) pitched the final 1.2 innings, shutting down the IronPigs 1-2-3 to slam the door.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders return home to PNC Field on Tuesday to start a six-game series against the Worcester Red Sox.<\/p>\n
