The Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell 7-4 to Lehigh Valley in the resumption of the suspended game from Thursday and then lost 6-3 in seven innings in Friday\u2019s scheduled contest against the IronPigs.<\/p>\n
Yankees No. 1 prospect George Lombard Jr. hit a home run in each game, while Jasson Dom\u00ednguez had one of his own on a rehab assignment.<\/p>\n
In the first game, Yankees No. 21 prospect Brendan Beck held Lehigh Valley scoreless through the first three frames, which were played Thursday, leaving runners stranded in every inning while striking out five.<\/p>\n
Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre could not mount any offense against IronPigs starter Bryse Wilson, who worked around runners on in the first two frames before retiring the minimum in the third.<\/p>\n
Beck retired the first batter in the top of the fourth before rain suspended play for 56 minutes before the game was suspended. The game picked back up Friday with southpaw Will Brian making his Triple-A debut.<\/p>\n
In the fourth, Oswaldo Cabrera led off with a home run for a 1-0 lead. The RailRiders added another after Lombard doubled and came home on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n
Lehigh Valley put up a four-spot in the sixth inning with an RBI single, three hit-batters, and a walk.<\/p>\n
SWB chipped away with a run in the sixth and seventh. Lombard rocketed a solo shot off a sweeper to right field.<\/p>\n
The IronPigs got it right back thanks to a run-scoring knock from Robert Moore. They added to it in the eighth. Otto Kemp worked a walk and Anthony smashed a home run for a 7-4 ballgame.<\/p>\n
Lombard led off the offense to start the second game. He homered in his first at-bat for an early 1-0 lead, marking his second of the day.<\/p>\n
The IronPigs tied it up on a ground ball in the third. But, the RailRiders took back the lead in the next frame. Yanquiel Fern\u00e1ndez and Cabrera had back-to-back singles to get aboard. Seth Brown batted home a run for a 2-1 advantage.<\/p>\n
In the fifth, the contention between teams drummed up. After Felix Reyes was hit by a pitch, the benches and bullpens cleared. A fracas ensued and four members, two from each team, were ejected.<\/p>\n
Keaton Anthony followed with a two-run homer to get the visitors on top. A three-run shot off the bat of Carter Kieboom off of position player Edinson Duran in the top of the seventh put the Pigs up 6-2.<\/p>\n
