The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders allowed three runs in the ninth inning, but held on for a 6-5 victory over the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday at NBT Bank Stadium.<\/p>\n
An Oswaldo Cabrera sacrifice fly gave the RailRiders (29-27) a 6-2 lead in the top of the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
Carson Coleman came on in relief in the bottom of the ninth, and got Andy Ibanez to ground out and Cristian Pache to strike out with Ji Hwan Bae working a walk in between.<\/p>\n
Then, Jackson Cluff singled to cut the Syracuse (29-28) deficit to 6-3, and Matt Rudick walked before Rafael Montero replaced Coleman.<\/p>\n
Nick Morabito reached on a catcher\u2019s interference to load the bases, and Yonny Hernandez scored two runs with a single to center to cut the deficit to 6-5.<\/p>\n
However, Montero got Kevin Parada to fly out to left to end the game.<\/p>\n
Oswaldo Cabrera got the RailRiders on the board in the third with his first sac-fly. Francisco Alvarez answered in the bottom half with an RBI double to tie the game at 1.<\/p>\n
George Lombard Jr. then walked with the bases loaded to give the RailRiders a 2-1 lead in the fourth, but the Mets once again answered in the bottom half, as Andy Ibanez homered to tie the game at\u00a0 2.<\/p>\n
Ernesto Martinez Jr. homered in the sixth, and Seth Brown hit an RBI double in the seventh to give the RailRiders a 4-2 lead.<\/p>\n
Spencer Jones added a walk with the bases loaded in the eighth before Cabrera\u2019s second sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n
