In the eighth, Eaton hit a solo homer to left, and Seigler hit an RBI double to left to give Worcester a 6-2 advantage.<\/p>\n
Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre\u2019s Tyler Hardman had an RBI groundout in the eighth to cut the deficit to 6-3, but former RailRider and Yankee Tommy Kahnle picked up his third save of the season to secure the win.<\/p>\n
