The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders split a Wednesday doubleheader with the Syracuse Mets. The RailRiders took game one 6-3 but dropped the second contest 13-2.<\/p>\n
Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre put up three runs in the third inning of game one. Duke Ellis singled and George Lombard Jr. was hit by a pitch to get aboard. Spencer Jones followed with an RBI knock for a 1-0 lead. Oswaldo Cabrera then recorded his third sacrifice fly of the week. Seth Brown notched a run scoring hit for a 3-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
The visitors posted three more in the seventh. Tyler Hardman and Brown launched back-to-back solo shots. It was Hardman\u2019s first Triple-A home run and 14th of the season. Ali S\u00e1nchez continued with a single and a RBI double from Ernesto Mart\u00ednez Jr sent him home, making it 6-0.<\/p>\n
Once again, Syracuse rallied back late in the game. A two-run homer from former RailRider Ben Rortvedt and an RBI from Matt Rudick made the final score 6-3.<\/p>\n
Carlos Lagrange tossed four clean innings in his first appearance out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n
In game two, the Mets got on the board in the first frame. Nick Morabito singled to reach, moved over on a wild pitch, stole second, and scored on an error.<\/p>\n
Syracuse added a four spot in the third. Along with a couple of walks, Christian Arroyo knocked a two-run double for a 5-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Ornelas broke up the shutout bid with a solo shot in the fourth frame.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders inched closer in the sixth thanks to Cabrera. He doubled, stole third, and came home on an error for a 5-2 score.<\/p>\n
The home team poured it on in the bottom half as the RailRiders had to turn to a position player pitching. The Mets tacked on eight runs on five hits and four walks to end the game 13-2.<\/p>\n
The RailRiders continue their series against the Mets at NBT Bank Stadium on Thursday. Yankees No. 2 prospect Elmer Rodr\u00edguez faces off against Syracuse\u2019s Xzavion Curry. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.<\/p>\n
